The South American country of Ecuador, named for its geographic position straddling the equator, is a warm and lovely place.
The country boasts a diverse landscape, including the South Pacific Coast, the highlands of the Andes mountain range, the breathtaking beauty of the Amazon jungle and, offshore, the tropical paradise that is the Galapagos Islands.
At Galapagos National Park, visitors can see Galapagos green turtles, while on the island of Fernandina the volcanic landscapes are absolutely stunning.
Local Ecuadorian food varies throughout the country but includes lots of seafood dishes like ceviche and encocado.
