The Galapagos Islands lie almost a thousand kilometers off the coast of Ecuador’s mainland. Biologically diverse, they are one of the planet’s natural paradises and one of the most visited national parks in the world. The flora and fauna you’ll find here are truly unique.

Here, you’ll see unending beaches of marble white sand such as those of Tortuga Bay, tunnels of lava, spectacular diving areas, and a marine reserve, not to mention the prehistoric animals and colorful birds you’ll get a chance to observe.

There are thirteen main islands that make up the archipelago.

The Ecuadorian coast’s climate varies from hot and dry in the north to hot and humid in the south. Several national parks such as Machalilla and Manglares- Churute provide endless opportunities for eco- adventurers.

Guayaquil, Ecuador's principal port, makes getting to Ecuador's beaches easy, quick, and affordable.

Moreover, with a well-developed tourist infrastructure, all of Ecuador's beautiful beaches offer a tropical paradise.

The Ecuadorian Northern Andes are known worldwide for their impressive mountains, volcanoes, and snow-capped peaks, some of the most famous of which are Cotopaxi and Chimborazo.

Our Andean provinces are also home to cities and towns of historical interest and importance such as Quito and Cuenca and artisan centers such as Otavalo.

The area is also home to several national parks with an abundant variety of flora and fauna. Because of the diverse geography of the area, the Andes consists of a variety of landscapes, each one with a unique microclimate.

The Ecuadorian Southern Andes. The oldest archaeological ruins are to be found in this region. The area is also home to several villages full of handicrafts as well as to a variety of protected areas, national parks, and nature reserves.

Cuenca stands out as a historical and cultural city. This part of the country is also known for its hot springs and the traditional medicines which are used here. The climate differs according to the altitude. However, in general, the weather here is relatively cool.

The Amazon Rainforest. In the eastern part of the country, commonly known as the Amazon Basin, heavy rainfall and high humidity are constant features.

The vegetation of the Ecuadorian Amazon is exuberant as is its fauna.

Within and around the huge protected areas of the Amazon Rain Forest several indigenous ethnic groups live side by side, still living traditionally, each group maintaining its distinct customs and traditions.
