ECUADOR GENERALITIES:

The Republic of Ecuador took its name early 1800's from the equatorial line that runs through its land. Ecuador is well known as a amazing natural laboratory, explored by French, German and English scientists. La Condamine, Alexander Von Humbolt, Charles Darwin and Edward Whymper, all published adventure books detailing their adventure travels in Ecuador. These recount a land of fantastic animals, snow-capped volcanoes and impenetrable Amazon jungle.

Ecuador is one of the safest destinations for traveling in Latin America. The ecuadorians are friendly, kind, easygoing etc. They are are descendents of Spanish conquerors and original pre-columbian inhabitants, many of whom still speak Quichua an maintain traditions from Incan times and before. Ecuador has the same size as the Colorado State at the USA but it has more flora and fauna than all the Unites States. The smallest Andean country, two hemispheres, four regions, snow-capped Andes, the Pacific coast , the Amazon Jungle, Galapagos Islands…are all reasons why Ecuador is one of the most popular destinations in South America.
