If you wonder why this happens, there is an explanation and it is that due to the speed at which the Earth rotates, the force of gravity is cancelled out, because being in the heart of the Center of the World makes it possible to balance something easily.
And the tour of the City of the Middle of the World continues in the planetarium, which through simulated trips to space opens up a fascinating world for observing constellations and planets. This celestial escape must be included in any visit to Ecuador.
The entire tour is complemented by gastronomic experiences, in a sensorial journey to discover the “golden nugget”, Ecuadorian cocoa, one of the best and most sought-after on an international scale.

At the end, travelers will enjoy exquisite tastings and delicious desserts prepared with the best chocolate in the world.
