Marco Zero

Where the equator comes through, and even crosses a football stadium! It is marked by a small monument. At the spring and autumn equinox, the sun rises and sets on the equator and shines in the circle at the top of the monument. Other than that, there is not much to see. The only reason to see this is to say you've been at 0 degrees latitude putting one foot in the northern hemisphere and one foot in the southern hemisphere. If you come by taxi, ask the driver to wait the 5 minutes it takes you to take a picture. But there is also an express bus that goes there from the city center and the bus going to the Universidade also passes by.
