any think of Ecuador as a destination only for the very
rich or highly experienced traveler. Yet, with so much
to offer and the recent availability of low cost flights,
Ecuador should move to the top of your list.
Ecuador gets its name from its
position on the equator, in the
north-west of the South American
continent. It borders only Peru
and Colombia and owns the
Galapagos
Islands,
1000km
west of Ecuador’s coast, which is
famous for abundant and unique
wildlife. Mainland Ecuador has
a coastal plain, a mountainous
center (part of the Andes mountain
range) and the lowland forest of
the Amazon basin to the east.
