We visited the 'Inti Nan' museum that's located on the equator. It has a village representing the indigenous people of Ecuador complete with solor clocks, shrunken heads, totem poles and huts. You can do experiments that prove that this is the actual equator. Yes, it's true. Water draining (toilets) in the Northern hemisphere swirl counter-clockwise. In the Southern hemisphere, it swirls clockwise. On the equator itself, there is no swirl at all. You could see the difference 1 yard from the equator in either direction.
