| Country |
Ecuador is a small and politically stable country with a population
of around 11 million people. Its size can be compared with Great Britain
and it offers a multitude of contrasts. The warm Pacific coast, the peaks
of the snow-covered Andes and the more tropical rain forest in the Amazon
region. Last but not least: the Galapagos islands - one of the wonders
of the world - are situated not quite two hours away from the mainland.
|
| Climate |
Due to its situation near the equator and its varied regions, differing
climates are to be expected. Hot in the coastal region, hot and humid towards
the Amazon, early summer warmth on the Andes plateau around Quito. From January
to May, an increase in rain is to be expected. |
| Entry regulations |
For a stay of up to 90 days, travellers from most western
countries only require a passport valid for at least a further six months.
