- Middle of the World, Museo Intinan, Quito, Equador
(Latitude 00:00'00", yes - right on the Equator, splitting the world into 2 halves. This small museum outside Quito gave visitors the chance to straddle both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, as well as a few sensations you can only experience because one is at the Equator, like balancing an egg on the head of a nail. A 30m high monument 100m away was erected to mark the old Equator location, but with GPS, the new location was here at this museum. At the end of the tour, you will get a stamp on your passport to show that you stood right on the Equator)
