Montañita (Little Hill)
  • This is a petite seaside town situated in the
    prefecture of Santa Elena, which is somewhere
    around a 180 kilometers northwest of the
    Guayaquil city. This little town became very
    famous recently. Back in the old days, it was
    only known as a surfing spot, and had just a few
    rusty old fisherman houses, and a few surfing
    tents here and there during the summer. It was
    until 1960, the city got a little recognizable.
    It was linked to many foreign people who started
    the hippie movement and decided to settle down
    permanently in the city. Thanks to them, the city
    became a hotspot for surfers from around the
    globe, who still consider this beach as one of
    the best on the South Coast of the Country.

New Cathedral of Cuenca
  • Cuencais the third largest city of the
    country, this city gained popularity for two
    reasons, one its pleasant climate all year and
    two, because of the New Cathedral. The blueprint
    of this cathedral was drawn out by a German born
    contemplative, Juan Bautista Stiehle who came to
    the city from Alsace in 1873 on Bishop Leon
    Garridos orders. He lived from 1829-1899. The
    work began in 1885 and took almost a century to
    be completed. The cathedral has three main domes.
    They are made up of white and striking blue
    glazed tiles brought from Czechoslovakia. This
    magnificent structure was born after nearly a
    hundred years of intense labor, and is also the
    reason why its so famous.

Otavalo Market
  • If you want to experience the flavor of
    local art, this is the right place for you. The
    local artists of the country put up their
    clothing, arts and crafts for sale. The art is so
    beautiful that this city became famous all over
    the world, because of the homegrown handiwork of
    the Otavalos (the local community of the town).
    The citys Plaza de Ponchos holds the sales of a
    variety of stone and wood carvings, woven
    clothing and jewelry every Saturday. Every
    tourist coming to Quito never forgets to add

  • Its obviously the church located in Quitos
    old town. The building process began in the year
    1550 in a place where the Incan ruler Atahualpas
    Palace stood, back in the day.Its famous because
    its not just a church, its a whole complex of
    the Minster, which covers two blocks and has a
    museum connected to it. This church holds the
    position of being one of the most important
    cultural hubs of Latin America.

The Galapagos island
  • The Galapagos Islands are the only reason
    behind the fame of the whole country. If you step
    into Ecuador, you shouldnt ever come back until
    you see this place. It has become a hub spot for
    travelers around the world also, because
    Galapagos offers a wide range of tour packages
    and Scuba Diving as well as Snorkeling sessions
    around. You can even call it as Mother Natures
    paradise of living organisms. Now this is not
    just one single islet but a whole bunch of them,
    situated in the Eastern Pacific. Reason behind
    this popularity is their unadulterated condition
    since centuries.
