Mitad del Mundo

The equator line runs right through Quito, so naturally this is a huge tourist attraction.

Here is the "first" equator line, discovered and mapped by the French back in the 1700's or something like that. This is the more historical area.
 
 
Along with GPS technology came another, more exact equator line about 200 meters away. Of course, this is yet another tourist attraction.
 
This is a sun clock, but as it is sitting exactly on the equator, it is the only one of it's kind that can be vertical rather than horizontal. This may be interesting to any math freaks but probably no one else...

Cotopaxi Glacier

Although I didn't hike up to the summit of Cotopaxi, I did take a mini version just up to the tip of the glacier.

Secret Garden Cotopaxi

I headed out of town to an amazing hostel in the middle of no where but right near Cotopaxi, a HUGE volcano very popular to climb. This was our view of it from the back porch.

Teleférico

For even more good views of Quito, I went up the Teleférico where you can see ALL of the huge city.
