Full of vibrant colonial cities, coastal Afro-Equadorian towns with requisite seafood feasts, and remote Amazonian settlements where shamans continue to practise the rituals of times gone by, the culture is vast and the travel times short.

With natural masterpieces including the Galapagos Islands, the teeming jungles of the Amazon, the world’s most active volcanoes and the seemingly impenetrable fortress of the Andes, the country offers plenty to compete for your attention. Indeed, wildlife lovers will not be disappointed, foodies will be surprised and cultural buffs will find a plethora of fascinating sights.

Ecuador is a pint-sized land with a brag-worthy bag of reasons to go.
