Ecuador is a South American country named after the equator, which passes through it. It’s a land with enormous volcanoes, colossal mountains, and ethereal cloud forests. Ecuador is one of the best countries to visit in South America, thanks to the Galápagos Islands, Quito, the world’s highest capital city, and Mount Chimborazo, whose top is the earth’s closest point to the sun.
Ecuador has many historical, natural, and popular landmarks to explore, from historic markets to fortresses to Incan ruins. Here are ten that you can not overlook.
