Explore Ecuador
With volcanoes, tropical beaches, rain forests, and cobblestone towns
Ecuador is one of the premier destinations in South America. It's a
friendly, easily navigable country the size of the state of Nevada where you
can summit a 20,000 ft peak in the morning and enjoy dinner on a white sand
beach in the evening.
Ecuador's three distinct geographic zones offer exceptional beauty and a wealth
of recreational opportunities. Explore the wilds of the Amazon Jungle,
relax at a 17th Century Hacienda while shopping for exquisite handicrafts in
the world-renowned markets of Otavalo, or head to the coast for a sport
fishing expedition. Whatever your interest Ecuador has it all!
More than just a land of beauty, Ecuador is also rich in culture.
Remarkable collections of pre-Colombian and colonial art and architecture are visible
throughout the country. The capital city Quito and the Southern city,
Cuenca, have been declared UNESCO world heritage sites, recognized by the
United Nations for their outstanding colonial architecture.
