Experience Quito
Ecuador is named after it’s location, directly on the equator, giving it year-round spring-like weather and the most sunlight on the planet. The interior is dominated by the towering Andes Mountains, with many active volcanoes among them. Trekkers, mountain climbers, and outdoors enthusiasts will have no shortage of new routes to explore and rugged peaks to ascend! Head down from the mountains into Ecuador’s amazing, lush jungle, world famous for its rich variety of plant and animal life. Then hit the coast for excellent surfing, diving, and whale watching, or check out the many colonies of lively sea lions that line the shore. After unwinding a bit by lounging on the beach, a tour to the Galapagos Islands, a unique spot of isolated biodiversity and friendly animals who were never exposed to humans as predators, is a must-do for any traveler! In Quito, visitors can enjoy the rich local heritage of traditional Incan culture, with folkloric dance performances, traditional handicrafts, and live music available year round. And of course, friendly Ecuadorians are always ready to help you feel at home, and find your way to your next big adventure! With so much to offer, Ecuador is ready to give you a truly unforgettable trip.
