Ecuador converges an extensive
variety of overlapping worlds, an array of times and places that seem to occur at the same time and that together create a unique and enchanting
universe. Ecuador redefines the term diversity as its
territory holds within unmatchable natural resources and unique
cultures.
Among the many
Ecuador tours and vacation areas available to a traveler to Ecuador
there are
four distinct regions:
Ecuador is one of 17 mega diverse countries in the world according to
Conservation International. With 1600 bird species (15 percent of the
world's known bird species) in the continental area, and 38 more endemic

has 106 endemic reptiles, 138 endemic amphibians, and 6,000 species of

The Galápagos Islands are well known as a region of distinct
fauna, famous as the place of birth of Darwin's Theory of Evolution, and

Galapagos islands are endangered by a range of negative environmental
effects, threatening the existence of this exotic ecosystem.
