Ecuador has many attractions. The capital Quito, is a city with a lot of history where you can walk in downtown, enjoying of the beautiful colonial buildings. The beaches near Guayaquil are great, the weather is just perfect and the food is delicious and unique.
A main destination are the Galapagos Islands. Giant Galapagos tortoises, prehistoric marine iguanas, flightless cormorants and tiny penguins, storm petrels are part of the amazing spececies you can see in this place.
Throughout the country there is a lot of variety of food. In the sierra, rice almost always accompanies lunch and dinner, and in the coast it's potatoes. Soup is also a big part of lunch and dinner.
There are many low-cost hostels that can be found throughout Ecuador. Oftentimes the hostels in smaller towns are actually privately owned homes that welcome travellers.
