=========================
The US Centers for Disease Control has issued a travel alert suggesting that pregnant women postpone travel to Ecuador, where Zika virus transmission is ongoing. All travellers should protect themselves from mosquito bites. The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office advises against all travel within the 20km exclusion zone along the border with Colombia except for the official border crossing town of Tulcan in Carchi province. There are a number of active volcanoes in Ecuador. The Cotopaxi volcano has experienced renewed activity in August 2015 and restrictions are in place. Don’t climb the Tungurahua, Reventador, Chiles and Cerro Negro volcanoes.
===================================
Ecuador is a country in Northwestern South America, with a Pacific Ocean coastline, lying on the Equator between Colombia, to the northeast, and Peru, to the south and east.
Cotopaxi is the world's highest active volcano. Many cities and sites in Ecuador are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Such cities and best known places are the Galapagos Islands, and the city of Cuenca.
Ecuador is the most biodiverse country in the world. Ecuador has over one hundred different types of hummingbirds and thousands of orchid varieties. Cuyabeno Wild Life Reserve, Mindo and San Luis de Pambil are all good places to see many types of flora and fauna. The Galapagos Islands are justly famed for their wildlife.
The Cuyabeno Wild Life Reserve is probably the best place to see the Amazon Rainforest in Ecuador, even though there are other national parks which are also interesting (such as the Yasuni National Park). It's a place of high biodiversity and nature lovers should feel in paradise. That's a good way to discover the indigenous communities of Ecuador and to eventually meet a local shaman. It's necessary to get to Lago Agrio to reach the reserve. Private transportation is made possible by the local accommodation, which is provided by eco-lodges.
The beaches in Ecuador are amazing, including: Salinas, Bahia de Caraquez, Manta, Crucita, San Jacinto, and San Clemente. They offer very inexpensive hotel accommodations, great food and friendly people. But there are also very upmarket establishments as well.
History
=========
The Republic of the Ecuador was one of three countries that emerged from the collapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the others being Colombia and Venezuela). Between 1904 and 1942, Ecuador lost territories in a series of conflicts with its neighbors. A border war with Peru that flared in 1995 was resolved in 1999.
Climate
=======
Ecuador has many climate zones, from tropical along coast to cooler and dryer inland at higher elevations; tropical in Amazonian jungle lowlands. Ecuador is unusual in that one can choose any climate one wishes by where in the country one travels to. Lying on the equator means there is no summer or winter; however, there are typically wetter and drier seasons. The 'wetter' season is usually between December - June , while the drier season runs from July - November.
Crime
=========
Ecuador has quickly become the safest country in Latin America (South and Central America). Its violent crime rate is half that of most of the United States with the popular cities of Cuenca and Loja being the safest.
Cities
=====
Quito - Quito, the capital of Ecuador stands at an altitude of 2,850 m. The city has the best-preserved, least altered historic centre in Latin America.
Ambato - The central city of Ecuador. Special celebrations during Carnival time.
Baños- The adventure capital of Ecuador at the foot of an active volcano having small eruptions of ash and lava. Volcano Tungurahua. There are also many hot spring mineral baths as its name would imply.
Cuenca - The third largest city in Ecuador and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Trust site
Guayaquil - Largest city in the country and largest port city
Loja - The oldest colonial city
Manta - Largest coastal city and third largest city in Ecuador. Fastest growing city in Ecuador. Home to the largest port in Ecuador
Otavalo - Small town only two hours north of the capital famous for its Saturday market of indigenous crafts and livestock
Ibarra - Town of 100,000 inhabitants halfway between Quito and the northern border
Riobamba - Starting point of the famous train ride down the Nariz del Diablo and gateway to Mount Chimborazo, Ecuador's highest peak

The most beautiful city in Ecuador: Cuenca, Azuay Province
Cuenca (or Santa Ana de los Ríos de Cuenca) is the capital of Azuay Province and is Ecuador's 3rd largest city. Cuenca is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is known as the most European Ecuadorian city due to the abundance of Spanish colonial architecture. Cuenca is located in Ecuador's highlands at about 8,000 feet (2,500 meters) in elevation and is known for Panama hats (paja toquilla), the Barranco or Tomebamba River waterfront, and the abundance of colonial churches, including the Catedral Vieja (Old Cathedral) and the Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepción (Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception).
Some other nearby attractions that you will not want to miss include the Cajas National Park, the Girón Falls (el Chorro de Girón), the town of SigSig for Panama Hats, and the town of Chordeleg for handmade jewelry.

Chimborazo, February 2017
Read about my experience:
This ride was exhilarating! I previously rode Death Road in Bolivia in July 2015. Compared to Death Road, this ride was definitely more dangerous/advanced but less life-threatening. Recorded with my GoPro Hero 4 Silver. I am still playing around with all its uses. I used a helmet mount, which was attached to the visor. This is why the video appears to be quite shaky, although the terrain was quite sandy and rocky for much of the ride.
To do this ride, you must go to Riobamba, Chimborazo Province, in Ecuador. The company (Pro Bici; info below) arranges for all of the entrance information to the national park.
Chimborazo is an inactive volcano and the highest point in Ecuador. It also is the furthest point from the center of the Earth. The route began at 4800 m. on the main road and then ventured off onto a new trail that opened at the end of 2016. The route passed by an archeological place known as the Inca Barracks (altitude 3675m) with small Inca and colonial ruins, a mineral water spring, hummingbirds, hawks, other birds, native fauna and flora. After the drive out of the Inca Barracks to the top of the mountain range at 3900m, we rode 5km downhill on a dirt road to the Cuatro Esquinas (Four Corners) Community and continued 10km on asphalt downhill until reaching the busy Pan American North Road closer to Riobamba.
This tour cost $60 US, and the total biking distance is 40km of which 27.5km are dirt and 12.5km asphalt, total biking time from 4 to 4.5 hours and total tour time is about 9 hours.
MODERN GYPSIES | Ecuador 3 | Clean Water for Chimborazo
AFTER TAKING first place in ABC's 2011 reality adventure show Expedition Impossible, the three travelers who make up the Modern Gypsies — Eric Bach, Taylor Filasky, and John Post — took off for Ecuador on a new project called Compassionate Adventure. Mission #1: Help construct a clean-water well in the Chimborazo province, alongside the organization Free the Children. Mission #2: Attempt the summit of the 19,347ft Cotapaxi, one of the highest active volcanoes in the world.
Our plan from the get go was simple, one great act of compassion and one epic adventure.
A three-part web series resulted. Matador is stoked to be able to bring you their story in its entirety and publishing the three episodes over the course of the next several days. Hope you'll stay tuned to see what happens.
