Due to equatorial bulge, the highest point on Earth is also located in this country that is named after a geographical feature. Name that middle-latitude nation.

Move over, Mount Everest. Mount Chimborazo places Ecuador at the highest point on Earth. Because of its location along the equator, Mount Chimborazo is 1.5 miles higher than Everest, as the equator bulges out, but due to mountain peaks being measured from sea level, Everest gets all the credit. After climbing the 20,548-foot mountain, hop a ship over to the Galapagos to visit the wildlife at the world’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site.
