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.

Montanita
Surfing originally put Montanita on the map and if you're looking to catch some gnarly waves, we promise that this tiny coastal town won't disappoint! You could be forgiven for assuming that, because of the surfing scene, Montanita has a chill vibe, but things have gotten a little more rambunctious in recent years. Montanita has a range of possibilities for you to have a great time, perhaps that is why it is recognized as one of the fashionable destinations in South America.
