Notable structures include the Former Unasur building, once the headquarters of the South American Nations, and a large obelisk in the Middle of the World City. In the distance, a round elevation, considered sacred by Quito’s first inhabitants, is visible. It is believed that the first pre-Inca astrological observatory was built on this mountain. Other attractions in San Antonio include the mountains called “La Marca,” with the Pululahua crater on their reverse side. The climate here is dry, with summer temperatures reaching 75°F during the day and 54°F at night. In winter, temperatures do not drop significantly.

Interestingly, people live within the crater, making it one of the world’s inhabited volcanoes. From the viewpoint, volcanic domes, houses, and tourist ventures can be seen, bringing life to the area.
• Intinan Museum - Discover the Intiñan Museum, situated 100 meters north of the giant obelisk, representing the Equator Line. The name Intiñan comes from the Kichwa word meaning sun trail.

Visitors can also conduct experiments to prove they are at the middle of the world, such as balancing a raw egg on a nail. Successful participants receive a diploma as a master of the egg.
