Best Places to Visit in Ecuador
THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS
The Galapagos, 970 km off Ecuador, include main islands like Isabela and Santa Cruz. Known as a "living museum," they host tortoises, sea lions, penguins, and inspired Darwin’s evolution theory.
QUITO
Once the capital of the northern Inca Empire, Quito became the first UNESCO World Heritage Site. Just 24 km from the equator, its elevation and mild climate make it ideal for summer.
CUENCA
Cuenca, a beautiful colonial city in Ecuador, features remarkable Renaissance architecture, is a UNESCO "City of Human Heritage," and nicknamed "Ecuador’s Athens," home to many poets and intellectuals.
GUAYAQUIL
Guayaquil, Ecuador’s largest city, serves as its industrial and fishing hub. The vibrant Las Peñas neighborhood features artistic architecture, and its hilltop offers panoramic views of the entire cityscape.
OTAVALO
Famed for its lively Saturday Inca market, visitors can explore colorful textiles, intricate wood carvings, and engage with locals wearing traditional attire, creating a memorable and authentic Ecuadorian cultural experience.
