The Land of the Equator
Ecuador owes its name to the equator line, which divides the country exactly in half. At the Mitad del Mundo ("Middle of the World") monument, you can stand with one foot in the northern hemisphere and the other in the southern hemisphere - a unique experience!
The Galapagos Islands
The Galapagos Islands, which belong to Ecuador, are world famous for their unique wildlife and their importance for Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. Here you can experience giant tortoises, blue-footed boobies and sea lions in their natural environment.
