Peaks? Absolutely: big ones! Penguins? Definitely: little ones! Welcome to Eden on Earth!
What a wonderful country this is! Ecuador captivates me, right down to the simple allure of its name. I can think of no other country as diverse as this one: packing a powerful punch of both peaks and penguins in one relatively small geographic area, right on the equator. Ecuador boasts both the soaring peaks of the Andes (including some of the highest active volcanoes on Earth!) and the lush, riotous green of the Amazon jungle – not to mention all that uniquely mesmerizing cloud forest in between. There’s the charming capital of Quito, a long and beachy coastline, and, best of all, the Galapagos Islands.
After having our eye on this country as a top-shelf destination for years, Kent and I finally had a chance to go! We picked the perfect place to spend our ten year anniversary in Ecuador. It’s no exaggeration to say it was truly the time of our lives. Once in a lifetime was such a gift – but the truth is, I’d go back anytime!
