Ecuador

Ecuador is situated in the Northwest of Latin America. It is the smallest of the Andin countries. You would expect Ecuador to have a very high average temperature due to its location close to the equator. However, since its extreme heights in the Andes Mountains provide rather cold temperatures, the climate is differs from area to area: Tropical beaches at the Pacific coast contrast the temperatures in the Andes Mountains, where it might even snow from time to time. In Quito you can expect nearly all vegetations that exist and experience dry heat and wet cold only a few miles apart. People who like to travel will appreciate the variety and agree that Ecuador is the perfect country to learn Spanish.

The famous Galapagos Islands which lie in the Pacific Ocean some miles away from the land, are the most beautiful and extraordinary islands. The beautiful islands are a true natural paradise, where visitors can discover great variety of exotic species. Spanish speaking sailors discovered the islands less than 500 years ago. Charles Darwin spent some time to study the richness of species. Thanks to him, the islands are now an attractive tourist magnet, but still preserve their untouched appearance.
