Ecuador Travel Guide 2026: Places to Visit and Ecuadorian Culture
Ecuador takes its name from the equator, and the country has four distinct regions: the Pacific coast, the Andes, the Amazon basin and the Galápagos Islands. Quito stands at 2,850 metres, and June to September is dry and cool there. In the Galápagos the sea is colder and calmer from June to November.
