Mitad del Mundo Travel Guide
Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see
Just half an hour north of Quito, you'll find the Mitad del Mundo (the
middle of the world), a monument marking the location of the equator.
In actuality, the monument called Mitad del Mundo was inaccurately
reported as the equator line by a group of international explorers in
the 19th century. The original monument is worth a visit for its
three-story museum (entrance $3) which goes into great detail on all of
Ecuador’s indigenous tribes’ typical dress, food and customs.
