The top of Everest, K2, Kilimanjaro or any high mountain. This is due to a lack of particulates in the air to filter the rays out and of course because they are closer to the sun. Although the Equatorial region of the Earth may be the hottest, the actual difference in distance between the Equator and Everest is negligible if you consider how far the suns rays have travelled to get to us in the first place.
