Ecuador: the center of the world
There is a magical place right in the middle of the world called Ecuador, known for its biodiversity and amazing landscapes. It is a small country in South America right on the equator, where you can be in a hot and humid jungle, on a warm coast or the chilly and windy Andean Mountains within a six hour drive! Then, in only a 90 minute flight, you can be in the Galapagos Islands. This incredible biodiversity makes Ecuador one of the most exceptional place in the whole world.
The Andes Mountains
The Andean Region of Ecuador, also known as Highlands, is characterized by its active volcanoes, great biodiversity, and amazing weather. In the Andean region of Ecuador, there is a small town called Chuquiribamba, located in the southern part of Ecuador in a province called Loja, which is known for its culture, people and for being a combination of highland, cloud forest, and jungle. Sounds like something you could only see in the movies, right?
