Although the smallest of all the Andean countries, Ecuador is a country rich in cultural, geographic and biological diversity. Ecuador is one of the world’s few megadiverse countries in the Americas; its regions include Pacific coast dry forests, beaches and mangroves; highlands and snowcapped volcanoes in the Andes Mountains; Amazon tropical jungles; and the incredible uniqueness of the Galapagos Islands. Ecuador is a destination full of adventure, delicious cuisine and ancestral multicultural heritage. There are 14 indigenous nationalities and 18 indigenous communities recognized by the government—an impressive number for such a small country—who still preserve their traditional values and practices. Straddling not only two hemispheres but also two worlds – the ancient and the modern – this tiny republic with its remnants of past civilizations and Spanish conquests offers the traveler a striking blend of landscapes, peoples and cultures.
