The smallest country on South America's Equator is Ecuador. Ecuador has a land area of just over 109,000 square miles. Other countries on the Equator of South America are Brazil, Columbia, and Peru.
Peru is south of the equator (technically it is inaccurate to say it is below the equator).Northern Peru is actually within ONE KILOMETER of the equator, on the border with Colombia near the Ecuador-Colombia-Peru common point. Coincidentally, the Putumayo River is the northern boundary of Peru and is almost exactly along the equator, running east and west at that point.
Peru is located just south of the equator along the western coast of South America. It is located in both the southern and western hemispheres.
Cuba is roughly about 1,500 statue miles north of the equator. The capital of Havana is about 1,600 miles north, and the city of Santiago de Cuba (on the island's southern coast) is a little less than 1,400 miles north.
