South America Travel: Amazing Ecuador
Ecuador will be, beyond doubt, one of the gems of your South America Travel adventure with many tourist attractions as diverse as the Amazon rainforest and its native cultures to the ever-changing ecological delight of the Galapagos Islands.
The two Andean cordilleras that run parallel and cross Ecuador from north to south, present a varied topography: volcanoes and snow-capped mountains, green valleys with inspiring colonial cities, quaint Indian villages, farmlands, haciendas, lakes and rivers of crystal blue waters.
The country retains its magnificent culture and attraction that many expect in South America, from the splendidly colourful markets to the customary clothing and way of life.
The Galapagos Islands have been named after the giant Galapagos tortoises. In 1835, the English naturalist Charles Darwin visited the islands and discovered this “living laboratory” which motivated his writings on the Theory of Evolution.
Numerous animals of the Galapagos Islands have developed into diverse species from their continental relatives, and because they have never experienced man as a predator, they show no fear of humans.
The Galapagos is a wildlife heaven, and these are just a small sampling of the strange and astonishing creatures to be seen.
Flying into Buenos Aires or Santiago allows access to some essential places of interest of this fascinating continent which makes “broadening your horizons” unavoidable.
Buen Viage, Boa Viagem, Bon Voyage! Luxury
