Where can you find snow at the equator?

Since equatorial countries are very lush and tropical, you’ll have to climb up very high to find snow. In Africa, Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro (Africa’s highest mountain) both have snow year-round. There are also snow-capped mountains in the Latin American country of Ecuador. In fact, the equator line runs right through Mount Cotopaxi and the Cayambe snow mountains, which are around 5800 meters tall.
