Seven kilometres south of Cayambe, just before the turning to Cangahua and Hacienda Guachal, at Km70 on
the Panamericana, is the Quitsato equator monument (wwww.quitsato.org), taking the form of a giant
sundial (reloj solar), spanning 54 metres across with a ten-metre-high cylinder, placed exactly on the equator, as
its gnomon to cast a shadow. From this huge clock face, a compass rose of light stones inlaid into dark allows you
(or one of the guides on hand, at least), not only to read the time, but also the month, while other features indicate
the solstices and equinoxes.
