Ecuador is a country with rich cultural and historical heritage, with the background of the natural wonders - the landscapes range from dense tropical forests to volcanoes. The paradise on earth offers travelers a genuine outdoor adventure. Whether you're doing in this country on the equator, you will surely be an unforgettable experience.

You can see the most beautiful colonial architecture of South America, but many tourists consider their natural resources as the most valuable. Ecuador is rich in beautiful landscapes, night life fun, but it can also be seen for karaoke. Sounds wonderful, does not it? But the real magic of this place not by being caught. You must visit.

Ecuadorian State takes its name from its location on the equator. Ecuador borders from Colombia to the north, Peru to the east and south and the Pacific Ocean to the west. It is a democratic republic in South America and in its composition includes the Galapagos Islands, about 965 miles west of the Ecuadorian territory. The Galapagos Islands are known by many different names, but in fact, "Galapago" is an archaic Spanish word referring to the islands of turtles. Galapagos archipelago consists of 13 large and more than 200 small islands stretched to 1000 kilometers from the coast of Ecuador. This natural paradise is protected by UNESCO, but some animal and plant species are at the stage of extinction. Unfortunately, there are mean many endemic animals and their extinction would completely disappear.

Ecuador is also known by several volcanoes, such as Cayambe, Antisana and Cotopaxi. In this area, people cultivated sunflower, camomile, some sweet herbs, nettles and specific rose petals. It is believed that these plants can cure various diseases and can reduce negative energy. Renewed railway will be able to connect the capital Quito with Ecuadorian Andean peaks and connections. That's just another reason to increase tourist visits to this place. The average annual temperature in Ecuador is most often around 20 degrees. Because this is always a part of Ecuador has a sunny and pleasant temperature.

"The swing at the end of the world" is a long swing on a tree-house (named "La Casa Del Arbol") under the swing, there is a deep gorge with steep edges hanging slopes and the views take breathtaking , "Swing at the end of the world" is only a 30 minute drive (you'll probably need a texi that about $ 20 for the round trip + waiting time for the taxi driver costs) from the town of Baños (which is short for Baños) in the heart of Ecuador. For less than $ 1 of nice old man of Casa Del Arbol you will go a on the swing (it has a small strap on the front, so it's a bit less scary). In 3 words? Awesome! Photo Spot
