Ecuador is the smallest country in the Andean region and is bordered by two other countries, Colombia to the north and Peru to the east and south, and the Pacific Ocean. Famed throughout the world for its rich ecology and diverse species of plants, insects, birds and other animal, Ecuador is a paradise for nature lovers from all over the world. It is home to a large number of national parks, the most famous of which is the Galápagos Islands where Charles Darwin started to form his theory of evolution.
The capital city, Quito is the highest official capital in the world sitting at 2,850 meters above sea level on the slopes of an active volcano. Quito was one of the first cities in the world to be named as a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO along with Kraków in Poland. Other areas of interest besides the Galápagos Islands are the Cotopaxi National Park and the city of Baños de Agua Santa. Baños de Agua Santa is known as the "Gateway to the Amazon" and sits between the mountains and the Amazon Basin. It is a center of adventure sports such as bridge jumping, canyoning, kayaking and more.
