Andean Valleys The irregular topography of the Andes creates a beautiful backdrop for the passing rivers and snow-capped mountains. 

Mitad del Mundo Here you can stand on the equator! There is a large monument with an ethnographic museum, stores for shopping, and restaurants. The area also includes small museums, one of them holding an excellent miniature model of Quito. HOWEVER, modern GPS technology shows that the actual equator line is 240m away from the area, where you will find the Intiñan Museum.

Many different forms of folk art can be appreciated and bought at very low prices.
