Mitad del Mundo is a highly original tourist attraction 20 kilometres to the north of Quito. It's actually where the boundary dividing our planet into two is located. The northern hemisphere lies on one side, and the southern hemisphere on the other. You can have the unique experience of going from one to the other in a single jump here.

My suggestion

I recommend taking your passport with you so you can get it stamped "Latitude 0°". It's a great thing to show people when you get back to the UK.

Latitude 0° 0’ 0’’, where the world is divided! Mitad del Mundo is more like an attraction park than a museum but you can learn some interesting things there.

My suggestion

Rather than eating on the site, which is very touristy, you should go a bit back down the road to Quito and you will find lots of little restaurants that aren't expensive and are more authentic!

Guayaquil, pearl of the Pacific

Humidity, blasts of hot air, heavy traffic... Embark for Guayaquil, the largest city of Ecuador even though Quito is the capital. We're off for a visit of the "Pearl of the Pacific", from its landscaped river promenade (the Malecón 2000) to the cerro Santa Ana, not to mention the city centre!

Leaving Puerto López for the little Galapagos

In this article you will find a presentation of Isla de la Plata, nicknamed "the poor-man's Galapagos", which can be reached from Puerto López.

Along the Pan-American Highway, from Cotopaxi to Chimborazo

The Sierra is the Andean region of Ecuador that's crossed by the Pan-American Highway. The other regions are Selva, home to the Amazon Rainforest and the Costa, which borders the Pacific Coast. Often called the 'Volcano Route', it boasts a dozen volcanoes, including the highest and most active in the world. And we're off to a giddy 3,000m altitude...
