Ecuador
Ecuador sits on the equator's line, compressing an unlikely range of terrain — Andean highlands, Pacific coast, Amazon basin, and the remote Galápagos Islands — into an area smaller than Nevada. Quito's colonial center rises above 2,800 meters, where the air is thin and the light has a particular sharpness in the afternoon.
About Ecuador
Overview
Located in northwestern South America, Ecuador borders Colombia to the north, Peru to the south and east, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Quito is the capital; Spanish is the official language, though dozens of indigenous languages remain in active use. The country uses the US dollar as its currency, a legacy of dollarization in 2000. Its cultural identity blends Spanish colonial heritage with strong indigenous Andean and Amazonian traditions.
