Ecuador
- Quito Ecuador- Introduction
 Ecuador
has it all: Amazon rainforest, the unique Galapagos Islands, the Pacific
coast with it's many beaches, the Andean mountains with peaks up to
6000 meters (17.000 ft.), Indian Villages with colourful markets, and
cosmopolitan cities with lively nightlife. Ecuador is situated on the
Equator and the neighbouring countries are Peru and Colombia. The population
of 12 million people is divided into many different indigenous groups,
a large mestizo (mixed) population and a small white and African American
population.
The official language is Spanish but many speak Quichua, the language
of the indigenous people. Few countries in the world can offer such
a variety of tourist sites within a short distance, like Ecuador.
Quito - The Capital
Quito, the capital of Ecuador, is located 2850 meters above
sea level. It has a delightful colonial old town, which is built on
lava hills. This part of Quito is under international monument protection.
In only few years the new part of the city has itself developed to an
important shopping and entertainment centre with hundreds of restaurants,
cafes and bars.
