Soaking in the culture and warmth of Ecuadorian people! Would definitely go back! From google: The measurements taken at this location settled a fierce scientific debate between the followers of Isaac Newton and René Descartes. The data proved Newton's theory correct: the Earth is not a perfect sphere, but rather an oblate spheroid—flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator.
