Ecuador is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet. Its territory includes four principal regions: the Amazon, the Andes, the Pacific Coast, and the Galapagos Islands and is home to over 25 active volcanoes and many protected National Parks. It is the country where pure chocolate and bananas come from, which has a volcano with the closest point to the Sun from Earth and La Mitad del Mundo, the geographical point with a weird gravitational force. Guayaquil and Quito are the largest Ecuadorian cities, that yearly receive hundreds of thousands of visitors drawn to South America’s rich history, landscapes or gastronomy.
