If you want some adventure, you have come to the right place.

Ecuador is the proud home of the highest mountain IN THE WORLD:

Cotopaxi's volcano

2. Exotic cousine

Starting with the "cuy asado" from the highlands, that's actually roasted guinea pigs until the famous "guatita" in the east of the country. We have tons of dishes for the most dangerous palates that are a delicacy

"Caldo de tronquito" is the best aphrodisiac you can think of BTW ;)

3. Beach + Party

Montañita is one of the best places to travel if you are looking for party, music and beach all in just one place.

Being one of the cheapest places regarding hotels and hostels, you can also find numerous bars and clubs to party until the sun rises

4. You can be in both sides of the world at the same time.

The "Mitad del Mundo" monument is in Ecuador's highlands and if you go with your GPS you'll see that you are exactly in Latitude: 00º 00' 00"

5. Adventure after adventure

If you want a pacific walk in nature, or take a swim with dolphins, you've come to the right place.

Hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, trekking through volcanoes…You name it!

Being such a small country gives Ecuadorians and visitors the luck of being just hours away from snowy mountains to beaches and forest.
