Revealing SECRETS of the EARTHS EQUATOR and other must see sights in QUITO ECUADOR!

Revealing SECRETS of the EARTHS EQUATOR and other must see sights in QUITO ECUADOR!
In this video we explore some top sights in the Ecuadorian capital city Quito, this is our first time visiting the country of Ecuador and after just one day exploring we have fallen for all of its charm. Quito has a lot to offer travellers and we didn’t even get to all the places we planned on this day because we had so much fun along the way.
We start off by visiting the most visited tourist destination in Ecuador, the famous Mitad Del Mundo or the equator line and monument to mark the middle of the earth. We rally enjoyed exploring and getting involved with some of the dancing and activities going on in the park. We then head over to the teleferico which is a gondola that goes from the city center up the east slope of the Pichincha Volcano to the Cruz Loma viewpoint.
It was so worth the one hour wait to get to the top, we made some new friends in line and got to practice our Spanish along the way and then got to see the sunset from the top which as you can see in the video was absolutely incredible, but then very cold too! Apparently it’s around 4100 metres above sea level at the top so breathing is not easy but the gift shop area is pumped with extra oxygen so for anyone struggling head inside to fill up your lungs!
We would say that both of these sights were well worth the money and effort to go to, and are a must visit for travellers coming to Quito. We hope you enjoyed seeing it through our experience and that it helps you with your own travel plans!

We saved money and travel points, quit our jobs, rented our house out and boarded a one way flight in 2020. We started this KZbin channel to share our experiences with friends, family and anyone who plans to travel to the places we’re visiting. We leave TKT tips/facts in our vlogs to give information that we wish we’d had before visiting. We hope you find our content fun & useful :)

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It’s a happy and amazing place!

[@hugogordillo4461]

Great video my friends. I'm Ecuadorian and I hope you truly enjoy your stay in Ecuador. Stay safe and keep up the good job.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you, we had an amazing time and can’t wait to share the rest of what we got up to in Ecuador. Beautiful country! 🇪🇨

[@Just_a_normal_guy11]

Great.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It really is 😊

[@jerrygarcia4390]

My first Airbnb in Quito was located just south of la plaza de toros. I was absolutely blown away that I could see it clearly from the mirador after riding el teleferico up. I was very impressed with the level of sophistication in the modern architecture and luxury malls that I observed just north and west of La Carolina.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

You’re right, the views across Quito are incredible and clear from the mirador. We have been so impressed with the mixture of history and modern life in Quito, the airport hub amazed us as soon as we arrived. More airports need the set up they have.

[@lindae5937]

Looks such a great trip. Loads going on & great that you balanced that egg Craig…. Twice!!! Loved the views , interesting place - thanks for sharing.

[@horstbrunner1684]

looks like a super fun time

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It was so fun, great place for families, so many happy faces there!

[@franciscoalban4577]

Thank for your visit, I hope that you had enjoyed your stay in Ecuador

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you it’s been incredible!

[@lisaperu]

Awesome video! Brought back lots of memories from my time there way back in 2007. It’s a lovely country and people are sooooo lovely 😊. Can’t wait to see where you go next! 😊 x

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you, our next one is a big one! Taking us a while to edit but we had such a great time and love bringing back happy memories for others too!

[@alejandroadrian2003]

Bienvenidos al país de los 4 mundos

[@TheAverageTourist]

Balancing the egg on the equator was neat. The view point was amazing looking down on the city below - and that altitude would probably get me because I am not used to that. I bet the heat gets pretty intense there. I'd be all about the iced lattes.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

I don’t think I’ll ever be comfortable at high altitudes, Craig does better with it but I get headaches and all sorts! Worth it to see cool places though!

[@asdrubalvivanco2301]

Love your videos! As Ecuadorian I feel so proud watching your videos. Hope you had a great time there. Greetings from NY.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you, we had the best time. Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time to explore further! We will definitely be back one day.

[@SSAdventures2024]

We’re home now, just 4 months for us but what an amazing continent it is. Quito was one of my favourite places! Thanks for the tips before we went and I’m definitely going to keep up with your adventures. We did Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil but Colombia was definitely my favourite country… the landscape! Have fun you two! 😄

[@TideKnotTravellers]

That’s awesome! Colombia is pretty special right? We loved the people, the nature, the variety of things to do. We still have a few more Ecuador videos but so glad we were able to help with some before your trip!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Had to do it twice because I missed it 😅

[@jerrygarcia4390]

I was very impressed with the La mitad del mundo grounds. There is a lot to see and do and the grounds are well designed and kept impeccably clean. I was there in late January 2024. When did you visit?

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We were not expecting there to be so much to see and do, they really have made quite a lovely place to visit for all and yes so clean and tidy.

[@jerrygarcia4390]

@@TideKnotTravellers sadly, I just finished two bottles of the chocolate liquor that I bought there 😞

[@Kedsoreal]

You guys make me so happy thank you for this video I will be visiting in june❤ when did you film this video? What time of the year?

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you, we’re so glad to hear that. This was filmed in August ☺️

[@5ft9design]

Really informative, great work guys. Did you go recently ? Me and my partner are traveling SA at the moment but we are abit unsure of the safety in Ecuador currently.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We felt super safe and welcome there. We actually wished we’d had longer!

[@sun2shineful]

Love you guys Are you going to Cuenca? I live there. In would love to meet you

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you so much, we wish we could but not this time. We will definitely add more places and time next time we visit.

[@placesonthelist]

We visited in 2017 and went to the other equator tourist spot on the new line. They do the fake spinning water trick there.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Ahh, we didn't get to try the water thing, did they have a lot of things to do at the new line too?
