Top 5 places to visit in Ecuador
Ecuador is one of the most intriguing nations in South America. It makes up for its small size with an assortment of native tribes, colonial architecture, beautiful scenery, and thick rainforests. It has Colombia and the Pacific Ocean as its borders — it is not larger than most states in the US.

The Galápagos Islands
The Galápagos Islands continue to be among the world’s most active volcanic areas, and island formation is still underway. Many of the 13 major islands, six other smaller islands, and 42 islets that comprise the Galápagos were proclaimed a part of the Galápagos National Park in the 1950s. Exploring this delicate habitat can only be done as part of a guided tour of selected tourist sites. However, there are one or two places where tourists can go without a guide, including several areas popular with scuba divers. #galapagosisland #ecuador #scubadiving #seal #nationalpark

Cajas and Cotopaxi National Parks
Cotopaxi and Cajas are the most famous national parks in Ecuador. They are within convenient commuting distance from the cities of Cuenca and Quito. Among the two, Cotopaxi National Park or Parque Nacional Cotopaxi, only 50 kilometers south of Quito, is probably the better-recognized. Thanks to the large (currently active) Cotopaxi volcano that dominates the region and the smaller volcanoes of Rumiñawi and Sincholagua. #cajasnationalpark #cotopaxinationalpark #ecuador #southamerica #nature
