WHAT TO SEE AND DO

Middle of The World At Ecuador's Middle of the World park, tourists stand on a yellow line that is said to be precisely at Earth's midpoint. The Middle of the World (Mitad del Mundo) is one of Ecuador’s most popular and unmissable tourist attractions. Nowhere else on the planet is it easier to visit the Equator line or strike a pose with one foot in each hemisphere. Even Ecuador’s name was born from its location at latitude zero. Not only will you effortlessly lose weight at Mitad del Mundo, (since there is more centrifugal force at the equator to cancel gravity, your overall weight at the equator versus at the poles is even less), but you’ll also discover if water really does flow down the drain in different directions in the north and south hemispheres.

WHERE TO EAT

Somos Ecuador With the motto “Ecuadorian born. Globally inspired.”, Alejandra Espinoza is its well-traveled and experienced founder and chef carrying the initiative of reintroducing Ecuadorian cuisine with the use of techniques she has gained internationally.
