If you do come visit us down here, be sure to visit the Avenue of Volcanoes. It is a long valley south of Quito which is surrounded by two parallel mountain ranges.
People say it is the country's wildest scenery in all Ecuador.
If you want even more excitement, try to travel along the Panamerican Highway. This may not intrigue most people, but it gives you one of the most spectacular views of Ecuador's country side. The last place which I recommend you visit is the city of Cuenca. It was founded by the Spanish in 1557, almost 20 years after the Galapagos Islands were found. It is by far the most fascinating city in all Ecuador.
