Ecuador is home to the tall, rugged Andes mountains that run down its middle. Those mountains sit between the Pacific coastline and the deep Amazon jungle. And of course, you can’t forget about the Galapagos Islands far off the coast. Amid all that you’ll find charming colonial cities, splendid hiking trails and friendly, hardworking people.
My wife and I traveled through Ecuador on our recent trip through South America. Full disclosure: aside from the Galapagos, we mainly spent our time in the Andean highlands in the center of the country. But even Ecuador’s mountainous middle has enough to offer that we spent two months traveling and never once felt bored.
In this category you’ll find Ecuador travel advice, places to visit including some hidden gems and one place to skip. Hopefully, you’ll be inspired to move Ecuador from the middle of your travel bucket list to the top where it belongs.
