Ecuador
 

The smallest country in the rugged Andean highlands, Ecuador has an array of vibrant indigenous cultures, well-preserved colonial architecture, otherworldly volcanic landscapes, a humid and dense rainforest, a large stretch of golden coast and the one of a kind Galapagos Islands.

If an argumentative group of travelers sat down to design a shared destination, they would be hard put to come up with a place that would best Ecuador. Packed like a knee-cap between Peru and Colombia, Ecuador contains within its borders an improbable variety of landscape and culture.” –LONELY PLANET AND INTERKNOWLEDGE
