V!VA User‘s Description 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.

The government monument on the equator was pretty dull. There was a museum inside it that was interesting. However, just around the corner from this complex, there was a small Indian museum which was far more interesting. They do experiments with water and eggs to show how things are different on the north and south sides of the equator.
