Middle of the World Monument
Feel free to explore at your own pace and discover
Stop: 2 hours - admission not included


In 1739 humanity attempted to measure the circumference of the globe, establish the fixed length of a mirror and find the line between North and South. At least in regards to that final part, this mission proved unsuccessful. So while the true Equator is 240 m north of this location, this monument still stands as a testament to humanityās quest for knowledge, as well as the missteps we take on our path there. Still, there is much to see beyond a mistaken line. The location offers a variety of attractions, including an exhibition on the ancient houses of the amazon, a chocolate museum, a scale model of colonial Quito, a craft beer museum, a small retro planetarium and a viewing point to look over the entire thing. The monument itself is an imposing structure, surrounded by gorgeous landscaping and ornate busts of the original expedition. It might be wrong, but itās beautiful!
