About 3.5km northwest of La Mitad del Mundo, this small, pre-Columbian archaeological site was built around 500 BC by the Quitu-Cara culture and used principally as a ceremonial site during the equinoxes. You can walk in at anytime. It’s not Ecuador’s most impressive site, but there are good views of Quito in the distance, and there probably won’t be anyone else around. Walk all the way through – the best views are from the side furthest from the entrance.
