Best Places to Visit in Ecuador
Ranging from the misty jungles and roaring waterfalls of the Amazon in the east to the salt-sprayed Pacific seaboard in the west, Ecuador encompasses everything from wondrous cloud forests to brooding volcanos, Andean peaks and Incan ruins between its borders.
Ecuador is one of the most fascinating nations in South America. Bordered by Colombia, Peru, and the Pacific Ocean and no larger than most US states, this beautiful country attracts climbers, trekkers, adventurers, and nature lovers to its lush, ecologically important forests; wildlife watchers to its famous Galápagos Islands; and sun seekers to its pristine tropical beaches. Here are the best places to visit in Ecuador.
1.The Galápagos Islands
2.Quito
3.Playas and Puerto el Morro
4.Cuenca
5.Cotopaxi and Cajas National Park
6.Nariz del Diablo: The Devil's Nose
7.Canoa
8.Montanita
9.Banos
10.Otavolo

Ecuador is one of the most diverse countries in the world though it's comparably tiny. Beside the Galapagos Islands (which is the #1 tourist destination in Ecuador) the country has a lot more to offer, therefore I focussed on La Sierra in this video which is a paradise for landscape lovers and outdoor adventurers.
Another reason to visit the Andean region is that you have the chance to dive into the local culture and get a real feeling of Ecuador. The places to see in Ecuador I focussed on in this short video are the result of my own travels along the center from north to south and are easily doable in 2 weeks time.

MONTANITA, ECUADOR | Celebrating New Year in the craziest city of Ecuador
Hello, people!
This year instead of eating Russian salads, siping Soviet Champagne and counting seconds before the New Year, I found myself in Montanita. It's a hippie-party-surfing little town in Ecuador. You can find here best parties, big waves and beautiful people.
Let's see how Ecuadorians celebrate the biggest holiday of the year! ;)
Cuenca Ecuador | Considered One of the Best Places to Retire! | 80+ Countries w/3 kids
Join us for a tour of Cuenca Ecuador!!!
If you want to find cultural richness in Ecuador, there is no better place to visit than Cuenca. UNESCO designated the city Cultural Patrimony of Humanity on December 1, 1999, and later in July 2001, Cuenca received the title of the Cultural Capital of the Americas for the year 2002.
Parque Calderón is Cuenca’s central plaza and the spot around which city life revolves. The impressive New Cathedral, with its massive blue domes, dominates the square. On the opposite side, stands the proud Old Cathedral which dates back to 1557 when the city was founded.
Another interesting thing to check out here is Panama Hat Factory. Would you ever guess that Panama hats are not made in Panama? Well, it’ true, they are made here, in Ecuador! The factory on Avenida Gil Ramírez Dávalos, near the bus station, crafts some of Ecuador’s finest hats.
Enjoy the video and let us know which country you're watching from!

ECUADOR: Quito and Baños | Vlog 26
Backpacking through Ecuador. Exploring the city of Quito and then visiting waterfalls in Baños.
After 1 month in Colombia I moved onto to Ecuador. I spent a couple days in Quito exploring the city and enjoying the nightlife. After Quito I went to Baños where we rented bicycles and visited waterfalls including the famous Pailon del Diablo. I also hiked from town up to Casa del Arbol (about 2 hours hiking uphill). If you visit Baños definitely take a rain jacket!
ABOUT ME: After 6 months in Asia I (Ryan) decided I wanted to travel more so I flew from my home in Trinidad & Tobago to Colombia to start backpacking South America. I do these videos as a way of documenting my travels so I have something to look back on in the future. I plan to upload 1-2 videos per month. Feel free to subscribe and follow along.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
