A Getaway to South America awaits you in Ecuador!. Enjoy Quito (Ecuador`s capital city and oldest of all South American capitals, notable for its well preserved old town, with upscale condo buildings and easy walking access to restaurants, markets, and entertainment venues).

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.
