Mitad del Mundo: Mitad del Mundo
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Mitad del Mundopark marks the path of the Equator... Ecuador, after all, is name after it. The museums in the park itself are boring, so I didn’t bother seeing them. I did take kewl pictures of the monument at 0'0'0 latitude and at the equator line (standing with one leg in the Nth, the other on the Sth) though... next door (50 meters from the park), the more interesting and less visited museum of Inti-ñan (Path of the Sun) is located

    Museums: Quito from above
  • Tip Rating:
  • There is a museum/planetarium on one of the nearby hills that offers an amazing view of the city. This place is called Cima de la Libertad. The history of the city states that this is the location of the Battle of Pichincha that took place in 1822.
