Welcome to Ecuador
Although it may be the smallest among the Andean nations, Ecuador is brimming with undeniable beauty, natural marvels, incredible biodiversity, indigenous culture, colonial heritage, culinary delights, and local warmth. Famously straddling the equator, the country is awash with breathtaking kaleidoscopic hues — the lush green blanket of the Amazon basin, the shimmering blue hues of the Pacific coast, the gilded interiors of Spanish-era churches, the white gradients of snow-capped volcanoes in the Andes, and the multi-color explosion of traditional handicrafts. From the bustling center of historic Quito to the almost otherworldly environments of the Galápagos Islands, it's easy to give in to the idea that Ecuador is indeed the ultimate South American destination.
