Bird watching: For those interested in wildlife Equador
contains one of the most famous destinations in the world
- the Galapagos Islands. With their unique flora and fauna
that was instrumental in Darwin's formation of his evolution
theory, they should not be missed despite the cost of boat
trips there. The mainland too has a vast array of animals
and birds, in habitats that vary from coastal plains, to mountain
meadows and valleys to tropical rainforest in the Amazon Basin.
Cultural Tours: These are varied, not only with the
art and crafts of the indigenous peoples, but also with Inca
ruins and beautiful colonial buildings from the colourful
history of the country.
Walking/Trekking: As you would expect from a country
containing part of the Andes, there are plenty of options
for those interested in walking/trekking. The most famous
starting point for these is at the Parque Nacional Cotopaxi.
Cotopaxi, which rises to 5,900 m, is the worlds tallest active
volcano and as well as climbing high on this (with a guide)
there are other beautiful lower level options available.
