Description

Our experience begins at the Pululahua Volcano, Pululahua erupted, expelling volcanic ash over much of the lowlands of western Ecuador, which greatly reduced the expressions of the Chorrera and Cotocollao cultures. We continue our adventure in the Middle of the World, La Ciudad Mitad del Mundo is a tourist and thematic complex that was built in honor of the French Geodesic Mission, and deals with the importance of the Equatorial Line that divides the planet into northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere. We continue our adventure in the Inca Ruins of Rumicucho, 'Pucará de Rumicucho' is located in the parish of San Antonio de Pichincha, one hour from Quito, is an archaeological reference that reflects the architectural footprint that the Incas left as evidence of their expansionism.
