Impossible to visit Ecuador without this - I thought the monument was great, and the place too, although on the tour we came they brought us to the race and frankly they don't give importance to this monument (It's a tour that takes place at Hostel Secret Garden Quito) IT'S ONE OF THE BEST WHAT I DID, we escaped to take some photos, it was very beautiful, seeing the monument, it is one of the landmarks of Ecuador, (although it is worth clarifying that this is not the true center of the world, but rather it is in the Itiñan Museum)
Both are worth visiting.
