No visit to the capital city of Ecuador is complete without a stop at La Mitad del Mundo. The Middle of the Earth is a statue and tourist area marking almost the exact spot where the equator cuts the earth in half. Unfortunately the line is falsely marked and the true equator lies about 250 meters away. But, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to straddle the line anyway.
