Unofficial Museum of the Equator

This the more interesting of the two museums. 

Instead of dry information boards about the various indigenous peoples, there are gardens and statues.  An English or Spanish speaking guide takes each group through the displays.

For example this is a model of an indigenous burial site.  The guide told us that a shaman would have been buried here.  His wife would have been buried alive with him.  She would have been given a beverage made from a plant to put her to sleep so that she wouldn't know what was happening. 

Here we are at the actual equator.  This unofficial museum is on the equator while the other museum is not.  It is impossible to do a drunk test walk on the equator.  I tried it.  There is something about that place that makes it impossible to walk a straight line with your eyes closed and your arms extended. 

This square stone block is a sundial.  At the equator the sun shines straight down rendering normal sundials useless. It is two sided with each half being used for half the year.
