Best places to visit in Ecuador
- *Quito: *The capital city of Ecuador, Quito is located high up in the Andes Mountains. The city contains plenty of well-preserved colonial architecture. It is also the largest historic center in South America and a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its old churches, world-class museums and beautiful public squares.
- Cuenca: You will find this city in the southern part of Ecuador, and it is yet another UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the heart of the city, you will find many of the main attractions, including the Old Cathedral of Cuenca. As you wander through the narrow streets, you will find many parks and squares, including Calderon Park right in the heart of the old town neighborhood.
- Cotopaxi National Park: One of the best things about this breathtaking natural wonder is that it is just a short drive from the cities of Cuenca and Quito. This is a great opportunity to see volcanos up close. This is also a great place to do some hiking or simply drive around and take in the spectacular panoramas.
Winter in Ecuador
One of the best features of Ecuador is that you're still going to find great weather in the middle of the winter. This makes a fantastic time to head to the desert coastal strip and the cities of Mompiche and Canoa where you can soak up the sun while you swim. These are also some great places to do some snorkeling where you can see an amazing amount of local wildlife in their natural environment.
