Being one of the smallest countries on the continent, it’s surprising to think that Ecuador has one of the biggest ranges of flora and fauna of any country in the world. Ecuador captures an entire continent in just one country, from the Galapagos Islands, far out in the Pacific Ocean, to the Pacific coast, passing by the snow-capped Andes Mountains and volcano alley, to the world's largest rainforest, the Amazon basin. Ecuador's natural beauty, diverse population, and fascinating history make it an incredible travel destination.
