Straddling the equator, this small nation is richly endowed with snowy Andean peaks towering over emerald-green slopes, rivers winding through tropical jungles, and beyond all this, in the Pacific, lie the Galapagos Islands.

 

Ecuador offers a fascinating blend of the colonial and indigenous cultures: charming towns and villages, colorful indigenous markets, pre-Colombian artifacts, and impressive architecture. 

 

Ecuador has something to offer for everyone!
