Ecuador, my native country, is nestled in the Andes cordillera in the northern part of South America. The country received its name from the equator line. Despite being one of the smallest countries in South America and being comparable to the size of Colorado in the USA the range of natural and cultural wonders is one of the highest in South America.

The country encompasses 4 very diverse regions each with different geography. The relative small size allowes you to visit the high altitudes of the Andes, relax on beautiful natural beaches while enjoying delicious sea food, enjoying wildlife watching in the captivating Amazon rainforest, and admire the unique Galapagos Islands. All in just a couple of weeks. Not to mention meeting its warm friendly people who have made this country one of the best to live and retire in, according to Expats.

Don´t just dream it, make it happen. Plan your South American trip with a local!
