The Republic of Ecuador is a country of legendary civilizations. This unique state is located in the equatorial zone in the northwest of the South American continent. It is washed by the waters of the Pacific Ocean and is surrounded by the longest and one of the highest mountain systems of the Earth – the Andes. The capital of  Ecuador – the famous city of Quito – is the first city in the world declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This is a country with unique nature, lush tropical forests, amazing volcanic landscapes and picturesque ruins of ancient cities, a country of majestic mountains and lakes with unique flora and fauna.
