Mexico City, Mexico
Standing on the Equator line at Mitad del Mundo
Quito · Ecuador
About this experience
Near Quito, you can stand on the Equator line with one foot in the northern hemisphere and the other in the south. You walk around the monument, pose for photographs and enjoy a short, memorable moment at this symbol of geography. It also makes a fun fact for children.
Quito is at high altitude, so move slowly. The sun is strong and weather can shift quickly, so a hat, a light jacket and sun protection help. Go early for photographs before the crowds build.
