Ecuador is a nation of rainbow colors – the
greens of the Amazon and blues of the Pacific,
the golds of church interiors and the whites of
snow-capped volcanoes. From the busy center
of Quito to the heights of the Andes, from the
colonial beauty of Cuenca to the moonlike
seascapes of the Galapagos, Ecuador delivers
marvels that captivate, fascinate and fill you
with wonder.
