This middle of the world museum is considered to be more exact on the equator than the Mitad del Mundo monument.

You can get a tour around the museum where you will experience cool experiments when you are on

the equator like balancing eggs etc.

4. Teleferiqo and Pichincha

I climbed #rucupichincha this Saturday! The weather was not the best but it was an awesome hike !

Taking the cable cart Teleferiqo costs you around $8 dollars. You can hike up to the volcano

Pichincha which will take you around 4 hours. Make sure you have enough clothes on you. The Teleferiqo reaches up

to 4050 meters above sea level.

Nice relaxing weekend trip to Pululahua and the crater hotel with this view

If you are going to Mitad del Mundo you can drive further North and you will see Pululahua. You can also hike down to the crater.

6. Mitad del Mundo

Have you ever been to the middle of the world? Quito's middle of the world monument is the highest middle of the world monument in the world!

Mitad del Mundo is a monument that was thought to be the middle of the equator, however, the French explorers missed it with roughly 200 meters.
