Divided in 4 geographical regions: in the Coast the splendour of its beaches awaits you; the Andes "Avenue of the Volcanoes" in the Andean Sierras; the emerald forest in the Amazon and the enchanting Galapagos Islands. Ecuador with only 102.854 sq. miles (270.670 sq. Km.) in extension, condenses singular attractions together with boutique hotels, ancient haciendas, and unique hotels and hostels with a local flair. The enchantment relies in combining the diversity of its geography, flora, fauna and its cultures.

If you wish to relax you walk in colonial streets and museums in Quito and Cuenca, both cities declared UNESCO cultural heritage sights; relax at a pristine beach, or admire the wildlife when you visit to the Galapagos Islands and the Amazon.
Ecuador is exactly at the middle of the world, with a climate that is tropical and template 365 days a year due to its location in the Andean corridor.
