There are three main geographic regions within Ecuador. The locals call these three regions La Costa, La Sierra, and El Oriente. So, there is the coast, the highlands, and “the east”, which is the Amazon rainforest. There is also another region known as the Region Insular. This is the region comprising the Galapagos Islands, which are a must see if you visit this region. Within the highlands, you will find the Andes mountains. Of course, the Amazon rainforest is a beautiful attraction that any tourist will want to see for themselves if they visit Ecuador or any other country that the rainforest runs through. Ecuador is roughly the size of the American state, Colorado. However, there is a great diversity in the climate even though this is a smaller country. Most of the regions are tropical, but it mostly depends on the altitude in this part of the world.
When taking a vacation to Ecuador, you will want to experience certain places and things while you are there. Ecuador is one of the many South American countries that hold the Amazon Jungle. In the Ecuadorian part of the Amazon you can experience different water sports like canoeing, swimming, and white water rafting. You can also take part in jungle walks to visit Amazonian communities. Another great spot around Ecuador is the Galapagos Islands. These famous islands are home to some of the most colorful plants and animals around South America. The Galapagos Islands are a must see if you vacation to Ecuador.
While in Ecuador, be sure to visit the capitol city of Quito. This was the first city to be named an UNESCO World Heritage Site. This city is divided into three parts. There is the Old City in the center as well as the Northern and Southern districts on both sides of the center. A vacation to Ecuador is not complete without a stop in this wonderful city.
