The Amazon is another great reason to visit Ecuador. Ecuador shares the same Amazon Rainforest with Peru, Bolivia, Columbia, Venezuela and Brazil.

Ecuador is also known for its portion of the Andes Mountain range, which stretches across the entire country. Many villages line its landscape including its three most populated cities: the capital city of Quito, the colonial city of Cuenca and port city of Guayaquil.
