Ecuador

Welcome to Ecuador!
Bienvenidos a Ecuador!

The splendor of the Andes really comes into its own for the first time in Ecuador. Dense green hills, jungle, tropical coasts and the Amazon. This is the impressive mixture that makes Ecuador a pearl in the Andes. Ecuador is also home to high volcanoes and beautiful national parks for extensive hikes. And finally, the Galapagos archipelago is also part of the state of Ecuador, which contributes to its outstanding position among the South American states.

Below is a list of all the blog posts from this exciting country. Have fun traveling with us!
