We started the day of by visiting the Basílica del Voto Nacional. A monumental building constucted in 1988. The Basilica is 140 m (460 ft) long and 35 m (115 ft) wide. It is 30 m (98 ft) high in the sanctuary and 115 m (377 ft) high in the two frontal towers. Both towers can be climbed as well as the transept. The view from up there is magnificent but the climb is special – not sure if the used “ladder constuction” would be allowed in many european countries 😉
There is not much to say about the Mitdal del Mundo besides there are unlimited points on the equator but this “center of the earth” did not even make it to the right place. However, loads of tourist go there every year – so did we 🙂 As soon as you arrive you do know: this is a touristy place! The whole monument is surrounded by shops with junk. Nevertheless, we enjoyed a nice afternoon with some favorouble coffee!
