About Ecuador
Ecuador is a small, tranquil country nestled between Colombia and Perú on the Pacific Coast of South America. Its population of 12.5 million is mostly of mestizo or indigenous descent.
For a small country, Ecuador boasts an incredible biodiversity, with massive snow-covered volcanoes, the lush tropics of the Amazon and everything in between. This lends to fun activities such as whale watching, kayaking, trekking and mountaineering. If you’re interested in the arts, Ecuador is the perfect place to discover centuries-old indigenous traditions such as intricate sheepskin paintings and pottery, sculpture, and gold and silver work.
Add to that myriad archaeological treasures and the finest examples of South American Colonial architecture, and you’ve got a lifetime worth of cultural studies at your feet.
Ecuadorians enjoy a mild climate and stable weather, which no doubt contributes to their friendly, hospitable attitude. You’ll surely ease into their pleasant way of life in no time!
