One of the most famous and unavoidable one is La Mitad del Mundo ( the Middle of the World), in other words, the Equator.
Another one is the springs of Papallacta, the perfect place to relax in the middle of the mountains.
La Mitad del Mundo
Nobody can help putting one foot on each side of the line to be half in each hemispher. Will you ?
There is the museum to visit with globe on top of it.
Though there is another museum that look a lot less like one but which is really really interesting. You will be explained everything about the Equator, its effects, and how the tribes used to rely on it to know about the time.
You will also be explained about how the tribes used to live, their traditions and beliefs. You will even learn how to reduce heads !!
That is a really interesting "museum". It's a little hidden on the right of the official musuem but it is so worth looking for it.
Guided tour.
