From the Andes mountains to the mighty Amazon, Ecuador is a haven for the senses. Here, you can taste local chocolate; smell the pristine air while you canter the sides of volcanoes on horseback; feel the thrill of whitewater rafting the tempermental Jatunyacu River, or discover the friendly charm of Quito, arguably the best preserved Spanish city in South America. Although the Galapagos Islands might be top of mind when visitors think of Ecuador, we challenge you to discover all of the richness and diversity that this Latin American country has to offer.
