Ecuador
Towards the northern end of the South American continent, Ecuador (as its name suggests) sits astride the Equator. The country is divided into three distinct regions: the 'Sierra', which comprises the Andes and its foothills, the 'Oriente', which is the low Amazon rainforest region to the east of the Andes and the 'Coast', which lies to the west of the central Andean crest. The most distinctive feature of the Ecuadorean Andes is the large number of volcanoes, most of which display the classic conical shape. From the perspective of the trekker and climber, it is the Andean region which most appeals. There is superb trekking in the 'Avenue of the Volcanoes', on the 'paramo' highlands and on the easier of the volcanoes themselves. The biggest volcanoes, like Cotopaxi and Chimborazo (6310m / 20,702ft) are snow-capped and provide wonderful climbing objectives for suitably motivated and well-prepared groups. Ecuador's great variety of scenery, its Inca and Spanish colonial history, as well as its vibrant mix of environments makes it a particularly worthwhile destination for family groups and school groups. One thousand kilometres offshore, the Galapagos Islands provide a justifiably famous wildlife destination.
