There is really so much to say about Ecuador that no one could ever cover it all. We are constantly gathering information of this beautiful country and its people'sculture.

Regions
Ecuador is known for many things, but one is the incredible diversity of its four regions. I have included specifics on theancient and modern cultures of each region, and some general info too.
