Ecuador is located on the northwestern part of South America along the Equator, whence its name. Ecuador is crossed from North to South by the Andes, which divide the country into four distinctly different geographical regions: the western coastal lowlands, the Andean backbone, the eastern jungles of the Amazonian basin and the world - famous Galapagos Islands wildlife sanctuary.

Thanks to its climate and the variety of habitats (alpine grasslands, coastal swamps, tropical rainforest), In fact, Ecuador is ranked among the seventeen mega-diverse countries; it occupies the first place in the world for its natural and cultural richness. Our purpose is to give a panoramic and therefore superficial view of a country which is immersed in the centre of the World.

Ecuador is the country located closest to the sun. In the past, the Inca Conquerors who believe the sun was their god sustained that this country was located in the center of the world. Nowadays, Ecuador is considered a Natural Patrimony and a Cultural Heritage of Humanity…a perfect destination for nature lovers and adventurous travelers. Ecuador is a country that radiates life by its natural beauty like nowhere else in the world, by the kindness and hospitality of its people and by its fascinating culture and history.
