Ecuador is situated in the northwest of South America, directly at the equator, that gave its name to this land. This land in the Andes is the smallest country in South America.
Hardly any other land offers such a great variety on such a small area. Ecuador attracts the visitors' attention not only with its immense mountain ranges of the Andes but also with the absolutely white sandy beaches and fascinating animal world.
Ecuador is a land of volcanos, too. It offers the opportunity to climb the 6000m high snowcapped mountain peaks without having to clear a path through dense and green jungle.
