Ecuador is a tiny country but it´s jam packed with everything you can see all around South America. If you are short on time but want a good place to visit, Ecuador is your place. It offers Amazon, mountains, tribes, beaches, Galapagos Islands, animals, hot springs, colonial cities, adventure and so much more!

I really enjoyed my first trip there had have returned a few times since, more recently I went to climb majestic Cotopaxi volcano!
