Adventure Travel: Ecuador Tours
admin
Ecuador tours allow travelers of all nations and interests to experience the cultural and natural wealth that belongs exclusively to Ecuador. Ecuador features not only the jungles typical to South American countries, but also some of the most spectacular peaks in all of the Andes, and the most unique island settings in all the world in the Galapagos. Furthermore, its assortment of indigenous cultures and languages offer a cultural perspective as well.
Specifically, there are three main typical objectives to any traveler who decides to visit Ecuador and its surrounding island territories. These are the jungles regions, with their abundant animal wildlife and unique plant growth, the cities within Ecuador, and the Galapagos Islands. Each presents individual challenges and rewards to anyone who yearns to experience the life and history of this breathtaking country.
Ecuador Tours to the Galapagos and Beyond
The Galapagos Archipelago is one of the great unique ecosystems in all of the world. A standing example of the scientific miracle of evolution, it is home to many interesting species, including the largest and longest-living tortoises in the world. Many areas of the Galapagos are protected by the Federal government, as its inhabitants are too precious to risk losing to poachers or pollution.
Aside from the world-famous Galapagos, Ecuador tours often make a point to visit and explore the many cultural treasures that exist in the cities of Ecuador. San Francisco de Quito, the nations capitol, is of particular interest. Founded in 1534 by Sebastian de Benalcazar, the city was built on the ruins of the old capitol city of Quito, and is home to much of Ecuadors most vital financial and social life.
