Ecuador is a small country, but it is amazingly diverse with the Amazon, Andes Mountains, and the beautiful beaches of the coast. South America is a large continent, but few other locations have as many options for tourists as Ecuador does. Many tourists arrive in Ecuador and are overwhelmed with the beauty of the country, the imposing volcanoes, the colonial architecture, and the various cultures. There are many tours to take advantage of and tourists will need plenty of free time to see it all. A few popular options include humpback whale watching, rafting, swimming, trekking, mountain climbing, and sitting back and relaxing in natural hot springs. Every city in Ecuador has something to offer, but some of the more popular destinations include Quito, Guayaquil, Otovalo, Cotopaxi National Park, Baos, Montaita, and the Galapagos Islands.
