Mitad del Mundo from Quito Airport (UIO) by private transfer: €35 per car (1–3 people) or €50 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 39 km via Via Collas Tababela and Avenida Simón Bolívar, roughly 40 min when traffic is light and 40–50 min when it is not.
Meeting point: The driver waits in the Public Arrivals Hall of the passenger terminal, the area outside baggage reclaim and customs where international and domestic arrivals come out, holding a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.
Ciudad Mitad del Mundo, the equator monument complex in San Antonio de Pichincha, lies north of Quito and is one of the destinations closest to the airport in practice: the road avoids the city centre entirely. From Tababela the route uses the Collas highway (Autopista Collas Aeropuerto) to the northern edge of Quito and then Avenida Panamericana Norte through Pomasqui. The drive is through dry, eroded valleys on the northern side of the city, quite different from the green slopes of Pichincha.
The complex is built around the 30-metre equator monument, with a museum inside the tower, pavilions on the history and cultures of Ecuador, a planetarium and cafés along a paved avenue lined with busts of the French geodesic expedition. The Intiñan site museum, a separate private museum, is a short walk away. The car parks at the entrance car park; inside the complex everything is on foot. Pululahua, a volcanic crater with farms on its floor, is a few kilometres further on the road to Calacalí.
Public transport instead: Consorcio OPERNORTE (Quito Metropolitan District public transport, listed by Quito Airport) bus from Mariscal Sucre International Airport passenger terminal to Carcelén Terminal (north Quito), daily, 06:05-20:30. There is no direct public transport from the airport to Mitad del Mundo. The closest airport bus line runs to the Carcelén terminal in north Quito; the monument is further north in San Antonio de Pichincha and needs onward city or suburban transport.
