Located in the Andes,<\/p>\n

Ecuador<\/strong><\/em> is a land of intrigue for travelers.<\/p>\n

Travel to Ecuador<\/strong><\/em> and you can trek the Amazon,<\/p>\n

climb volcanoes, or loaf on beautiful beaches.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the biggest reason to travel to Ecuador<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

is a visit to the famous Galapagos Islands.<\/p>\n

But even if your budget doesn\u2019t quite extend that far,<\/p>\n

the country has a fantastic number of beautiful places that you can explore.<\/p>\n

And the best part?<\/p>\n

It offers a 90-day visa-free entry for Indians!<\/p>\n

\"quito\"<\/p>\n

Quito<\/b><\/h2>\n

A hotbed of colonial architecture, Quito is the capital of Ecuador<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The city is considered one of the most beautiful in South America,<\/p>\n

with architectural masterpieces of white-washed buildings with red tile roofs.<\/p>\n

For those living in large cities,<\/p>\n

you will be shocked by the lack of neon in Quito.<\/p>\n

Surrounded by snow-capped mountains,<\/p>\n

the climate is an eternal spring throughout the year.<\/p>\n

The Avenue of the Amazons,<\/p>\n

\u201cAvenida Amozonas,\u201d is a bustling area<\/p>\n

with outdoor cafes and good people watching.<\/p>\n

Avenue of the Volcanoes<\/b><\/h2>\n

South of Quito,<\/p>\n

the Avenue of the Volcanoes is a must see.<\/p>\n

Running down each side of the valley are<\/p>\n

mountain peaks dotted with dormant volcanoes.<\/p>\n

Small villages throughout the valley give the area an old world vibe.<\/p>\n

\"galapagos\"<\/p>\n

Galapagos Islands<\/b><\/h2>\n

Darwin and the Galapagos Islands.<\/p>\n

Galapagos Islands and Darwin.<\/p>\n

The two are inseparable.<\/p>\n

Roughly 600 miles off the mainland,<\/p>\n

the Galapagos consist of 13 islands with exotic wildlife.<\/p>\n

You can reach the islands by flying into San Cristobal<\/p>\n

or take a boat ride to the major islands such as Isabela.<\/p>\n

At last check, entrance to the islands required a $100 permit.<\/p>\n

San Lorenzo Railway<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a new experience,<\/p>\n

try a ride from San Lorenzo Railway to Ibarra.<\/p>\n

The trip runs through picturesque scenery,<\/p>\n

but it the train that is most interesting.<\/p>\n

The train is actually a bus converted for the tracks! Only in Ecuador<\/strong><\/em>!<\/p>\n

Ecuador<\/strong><\/em> has much to offer travelers looking<\/p>\n

for something off the beaten path.<\/p>\n

While the Galapagos Islands are amazing,<\/p>\n

the rest of the country has much to offer.<\/p>\n
