One thing that sets Ecuador apart from most other countries in the world is its remarkable biodiversity. In this tiny country, travelers can cross from the verdant Amazon through the ancient Andes and onto the sun-kissed coast, all the way to Darwin's cradle in the Galapagos Islands in just a few short hours. In these enchanted islands, you will see first-hand the pristinely preserved biodiversity in the same state that Darwin himself saw it in 1835, including scores of endemic species like the marine iguana or the Galapagos penguin. The Andean paramo is home to its own flora & fauna, including the soaring condors, stealthy foxes, and deer. Of course, the undisputed paradise for naturalists is the lush rainforest in Amazonia, where more species of birds, monkeys, and plants thrive in harmony than most of the world.
