The size of Colorado, Ecuador is a volcanically lush and colorful country divided into three regions: the coast; the Andes; and El Oriente (the East), famous for its abundant birdlife, wild orchids, mountain village festivals, indigenous cultures, incredible natural beauty, biodiversity and the Galapagos Islands.
“There was a new adventure every day, and each had its unique flavor. One day we were face-to-face with giant tortoises, the next walking softly beside masses of marine iguanas. We kayaked with sea lions along the shore, crawled through lava tunnels, and snorkeled with sea turtles and hammerhead sharks. The kinds of experiences you could never have at home, but which are everyday occurrences in the Galápagos.”—Jennifer Gillmore, Product Manager, Latin America
