Want to Visit Ecuador?
November 10th, 2006

Ecuador is a tourists paradise. There are literally a hundred things to do in every town, city, or village. Everything from hiking, to scuba diving or skiing or rock climbing and so on and so on ... Some great cities to visit are Quito, Otavaola and Cuenca.

The Galapagos Islands, just to the west of Ecuador, and right on the equator, are great places to go on a hot sunny day while exploring Ecuador. On the islands there are tons of places to go and sites to see. These wonderful islands are home to many rare, and spectacular plants and animals in the world. If you love the water you may go snorkelling, scuba diving and sailing on the islands. There, you may also go bird watching, for many beautiful and amazing birds are found on the islands.

If you think you have to take a trip to Brazil to see the Amazon Rain Forrest , think again! Even though Ecuador’s share of the Amazon Rain Forrest is 2% of the forests size, that 2% is also home to one third of the whole rain forests population. Taking a trip through the rain forest is something you must do!

You’re probably thinking that the capital city of Ecuador, Quito, is just a normal modern city. On the one part, you’d be correct. However, the great thing about Quito is that it is so much more than this. In Quito, you’ll have the chance to meet traditionally Quichua-speaking women shopping in their traditional clothes and going about their daily lives as they would anywhere else in the country. This is very extraordinary because anywhere else in the world you would not be able to experience something so interesting and perhaps very educational.

Ecuador is a tourists’ paradise. If you’re thinking of taking a trip somewhere, but don’t know where exactly, well we have it covered for you. Come and visit the marvellous country of Ecuador.
