Ecuador is bordered by Colombia to the north and Peru to the south and east with the Pacific coast of South America to the west with the equator passing though Ecuador. Mainland Ecuador has three regions. The western coastal lowlands, central highlands and eastern Amazonian lowlands. Western pacific lowlands The western coastal lowlands used to be heavily forested, but most of the natural vegetation is now destroyed for agriculture and the mangroves have been hacked and replaced with shrimp ponds. This region is made up of fertile plains, rolling hills, and sedimentary basins traversed by a plethora of rivers that rush from the heights of the Andes to the Pacific Ocean. The nations most important and beautiful rivers can be seen here. The western provinces of Los Rios, Manabi and El Oro are the most intensively farmed in Ecuador. The Andean mountain Range runs from north to south, splitting the country into the western coastal lowlands and the eastern jungles and rainforests of the upper Amazonian basin. Chimborazo is the highest peak of the Andean mountains, which is composed of two volcanic mountain ranges, about 400 km long, with a valley nestled between. The valley houses Quito, the capital of Ecuador. This is the region with the highest population density in the country.

Ecuador also owns the famous Galapagos Islands, located approximately 1,000 kilometers off the coast. Ecuador covers 256,370 square kilometers of land and is the smallest country in South America after Uruguay and the Guianas. Geography Despite Ecuador's diminutive size - about equal to the North American state of Colorado - it is one of the most geographically diverse countries in the world. Ecuador is comprised of four distinct geographical regions: El Oriente (Amazon jungle) in the east, La Sierra (Andes mountains) in the center, La Costa (the Pacific coastal lowlands) in the west, and the majestic Galapagos Islands off the coast. Climate On account of Ecuador's varied regions and because of its location directly atop the equator, it is an excellent travel destination year-round. Rather than rotating through four seasons, most of Ecuador experiences oscillating wet and dry periods.

Ecuador is the Spanish word for "equator". Ecuador's history dates back to 15,000 and 20,000 BC, traces of which can be found in archaeological sites located all across Ecuador. Once part of the Inca Empire, Ecuador came under Spanish rule in 1533. It became independent in 1830. Location of Ecuador Ecuador, a republic in northwestern South America, is bounded by Colombia on the north, by Peru on the east and south, and by the Pacific Ocean on the west. The country also includes the Galápagos Islands (Colón Archipelago) in the Pacific, about 965 km (about 600 mi) west of the mainland. Climate of Ecuador Due to geographic differences in altitude, longitude and latitude, and the climatic effects of the Pacific Ocean, the Amazon, and the Andes, the various regions and sub regions of Ecuador have very different climates and microclimates. The Pacific coast has a rainy season between December and May and a dry one from June to November. The Highlands, on the other hand, have a rainy and cold climate from November to April and a dry one from May to October. In the Amazon, the climate is rainy and humid between January and September, with temperatures between 23 and 36 degrees centigrade, and it is dry between October and December. The Galapagos has a temperate climate with temperatures ranging between 22 and 32 degrees centigrade.

World, Abya Yala , Ecuador Map resources August 19th, 2002 WWW.GLOBALAWARE.ORG A short geographic trip to Ecuador. By Dr. LESLIE JERMYN. Ecuador is one of the smallest Latin American countries at 283,560 sq.km. It is nestled between Peru to the south and Colombia to the north and is an Andean nation. The Andes Mountains form a natural division between the Pacific Coastal Plain in the west and the Amazon lowlands to the east. Between the two lowland areas, mountains rise to heights of over 6000m. The two chains or cordilleras of the Andes enclose a series of 10 basins or valleys where approximately half the population lives. The main highland cities of Ibarra, Otavalo, Quito, Latacunga, Ambato, Riobamba, Baños, Cuenca and Loja are all located in intermontane valley areas. Peasant, dairy and cut flower farming dominate valley agriculture while small industry and services dominate highland city economies. Most of the rest of the population lives in the Pacific coastal region where the Andes gradually soften into hills that meet the sea. The main cities here are Esmeraldas in the north and Puerto Viejo, Guayaquil and Machala in the south. Esmeraldas is the country's oil processing and shipping terminal while Guayaquil is the major shipping port for all other commodities. The southern Pacific coast is dedicated to banana and African palm plantations and shrimp farming.

The stench of scorched land fills the air, mingling with the smell of exhaust from the many diesel-burning buses that flood the streets of the Capitol City. Quito is a city that blends the rich traditions of it's European and Indian architecture, culture and relaxed way of life, with a constant striving to break into the modern age of business and commerce. It is a city characterized by old churches next to glass office towers, modern banks with crumbling sidewalks, and rich mixture of people living by the old traditions and others firmly entrenched in the new world. Quito represents a country in the midst of change, attempting to preserve the old, yet take advantage of the new. Geography of Ecuador These diverse habitats create a country that offers much to the visiting tourist. There are very high active volcanoes to climb, such as Mount Cotopaxi, sitting at almost 20,000 feet. There are lush tropical rainforests, some virgin and some not, providing adventures into a vanishing lifestyle and ecosphere. There is a long coastline providing small fishing villages, ecoresorts, untouched beaches, and the Galapagos Islands.
