Ecuador
- Land of Exotic Contrast
 Though
Ecuador is the second smallest country in South America it is distinguished
by its extraordinary topography, its diverse climates, and its abundant
flora and fauna. Travelers will find endless attractions ranging
from tropical
jungle
to impressive Andean
volcanoes
to beach paradises all within a nation approximately the size of
Switzerland. Most people consider Ecuador's size to be an advantage,
for they can see its distinct regions, hundreds of unique ecosystems,
and thousands of plant and animal species within in a relatively
brief period of time. 
All
of Ecuador is worth exploring but the Galapagos
Islands
are a must. Officially known as the Archipelago of Colon, the Galapagos
sit in the Pacific Ocean 972 kilometers off the coast of Ecuador.
The Archipelago covers approximately 8.000 km2 and consists of six
main islands (Isabela, San Cristobal, Santa Cruz, Floreana, Santiago,
and Fernandina), 12 smaller islands, 42 islets, and countless small
rock formations.
The
Galapagos are very much a work-in-progress. The islands that make
up the Archipelago were forged by hundreds of thousands of years
of successive volcanic eruptions. Having literally risen from the
sea, the Galapagos are in a position of near absolute isolation
- perfect for evolution as Mr. Darwin discovered. The fact that
the Galapagos have never been connected to a continent, along with
their location at the confluence of three distinct oceanic currents,
and their varied topography, have given birth to an amazing number
of endemic (species that live only in the Galapagos) life forms.
The Archipelago has more endemic species than any other place on
the planet.
 A
visit to the Enchanted Islands of Galapagos is a fantasy come true.
Who can resist the image of a mystical moonscape on earth, giant
tortoises large enough to ride, prehistoric iguanas, sea lions,
whales and hundreds of other unique species. Tours to the Amazon
and the Andes are no less wondrous; navigate a river covered by
a towering jungle canopy or trek the infamous Avenue of the Volcanoes
that splits Ecuador in two. Whether you choose the Galapagos, the
Amazon or the Andes, you will not be disappointed. See what everyone
