Ecuador
Comprising three regional islands and districts, Ecuador is made up of tropical forest and high Andean regions located in the eastern region of the country.

The capital of Ecuador is the city of Quito. It was founded from time immemorial on the site of an old Indian city in one thousand 500 30 four years. 20 four provinces are included in Ecuador, and each has its own capital. The provinces break down into territorial administrative units (cantons), and in the future they are divided into parishes. The head of state is elected by general vote for a term of 5 years. Vice ministers and 20 5 presidents own neat power.

Tour to Ecuador – a trip to an unusual country
Ecuador is considered an earthly Eden of flowering gardens and green plains. This country is located in the center of South America high on the equator. This country has eternal spring with beautiful flowers and clean lakes. Mountains with volcanoes and white peaks from snow rise above the country. The wonderful Galapagos Island is open to tourists, surrounded on all sides by the waters of the Pacific Ocean, and an excursion into the country will lead to the great impenetrable tropics and Andes mountains and forest vines of the Amazon itself.
Ecuador for tourists
The sources of Ecuadorian rivers begin in the mountains of Ecuador. The largest of them are Napo, Pastaza, Esmeraldas, Aguarico and others. The Ecuadorian Agoyan Falls, sixty-one meters high, is located on the Pastaza River. Its transparent cascade and majestic view of falling water attracts the gaze of travelers as a unique local attraction. The Ecuadorian San Rafael Falls is no less fascinating.
The culture, customs and traditions of Ecuador are brought together by the various peoples who inhabit this land. Almost every month Ecuadorians celebrate some kind of holiday. This may be a holiday in honor of a Catholic saint, or perhaps a harvest festival. As in many countries of the South American continent, they cannot do without Carnival. This is a significant event for the entire population of the country.
Ecuadorians’ food is simple, yet exquisite. Most dishes are prepared with meat, salad, and vegetables. Some dishes are preferred with hot sauce.
