Quito

Quito, the capital of Equador, lies on the equator line. I visited the middle of the world, which essentially is a line painted on the ground where the equator lies, but also hosts a museum. The museum is quite interesting and gives historical information about the people of equador but also has a light hearted element to it where you can experiment with different things on the equator line. For example, you weigh less standing on the equator so you can weigh yourself to (hopefully) see the difference!

I also spent some time in the old town of the city. This is a very pretty area of the city and has many historical buildings and churches influenced by the Spanish.Weiterlesen
