Ecuador and Galapagos
The smallest country in the rugged Andean highlands, Ecuador is among the most rewarding travel destinations in South America. With its array of vibrant indigenous cultures, well-preserved colonial architecture, picturesque volcanic landscapes, and the dense Amazon Rain Forest, it packs its perimeters with more points of interest than many countries twice its size. All of this no more than a day drive from its picture-perfect colonial capital of Quito.
