ECUADOR is the smallest of the Andean nations. Her size, however, is not an indication of the country's wealth of sounds and sights. In Ecuador you will find remote jungle villages, fine pacific beaches, Indian markets and active volcanoes. Ecuador is home to the Galapagos Islands, which harbor some of the world's most fascinating wildlife. |
