Every encounter in this country that straddles the equator from the snowy Andean mountains to the misty, pristine rainforest is a marvel unto itself.
From the land to the sea, Ecuador knows no bounds in natural beauty. Then, there is the sea, oh, the sea. Ecuador boasts miles of coast. But the shining star in this sea is no doubt the Galapagos Islands--famous for its inhabitants past and present. Just over 600 hundred miles off the coast of Ecuador, these isles are home to species that only call the Galapagos home.
However, there is a world beyond the water. Teeming with Incan and pre-Incan ruins and cosmopolitan cities, there is a land full of people and places to discover and meet. The Amazon and the Andes offer an elemental contrast, and are so vast, they cover almost half of the country. And tucked into these mountains and forests are cities and villages, ancient ruins and monuments--waiting for light treads on their leafy, green trails and stonework streets.
