Ecuador

Between lava and steam, listen to the heart beat of the EarthEcuador straddles the equator, from which it takes its name. Its capital Quito, literally «Center of the world ", holds its name from the Indian language, as it was the northern capital of the Inca empire... Although, perched at the northern end of the Andean Cordillera, this kingdom of big volcanoes holds more summits than the central Andes! On this Inca land, where the earth’s hot blood still beats the slopes of the restless Tungurahua or the impressive Guagua Pichincha, here the nature enjoys playing roller coaster and invites you to join in … Guaranteed Sensations!Glittering glaciers and moraines in abundance, snow capped peaks, vertiginous gorges and crystal clear waterfalls, luxuriant tropical vegetation… You are here in almost virgin land, caught between suspended bridges and cable cars, contemplating the Ecuadorian marvels and hidden treasures under their hats: in Cuicocha islands; blue water and orchids, at the bottom of Quilotoa; a magnificent lake of turquoise blue water, at the top of the most beautiful crater of the world, Cotopaxi (5897 m); the vision of a perfect cone and an amazing sunrise on the Andean range. At the feet of the Chimborazo (6 310m); the villages of Baños and Otavalo, where craftsmanship is matchless, kindness and simplicity a master word.
