Mitad del Mundo

After a long but rather cheap ride from the Quito city centre we have arrived to the village of the Mitad del Mundo (the middle of the earth).
Once we have paid the 5 USD fee, we could enjoy several interesting museums on site before heading to the famous line.
We have visited few souvenirs shops and museums before we got to the memorial.
There wasn't many people so we could take couple of pictures before heading up to the viewpoint.
The line divides the southern and northern hemisphere and we had to do the classical pictures of one foot at each hemisphere.
The view from the top was very nice and we could see volcano Cotopaxi and mountains at the back.
We walked down the stairs and enjoyed the museum in the memorial that explained a lot about our earth and how it actually all works.
From here we walked to the sign and walked a little bit more around.
Overall it was a lovely trip to the no. 1 Ecuadorian attraction.Read more
