Hey fellow adventurers! This month we’ll be talking about Ecuador! I’m really excited about this month! This is another country that I’ve visited, and unlike the other countries I’ve visited, I visited Ecuador when I was an adult. So let’s start talking about Ecuador!
Ecuador
Flag of Ecuador
Name: República del Ecuador (Republic of Ecuador)
Nationality: Ecuadorian
Official Language: Spanish
Currency: US Dollars
National Anthem: Salve, Oh Patria
Largest Religion: Roman Catholic
Capital: Quito
President: Lenín Moreno
Government: Unitary State
Ecuador is a country in northwestern South America with the equator running through the country. It’s bordered by the Pacific Ocean, Columbia and Peru. If you go to the equator in Ecuador, the water will fall differently than it will north or south of the equator. And they do demonstrations of draining water from a tub to show tourists how the water drains at different parts of the equator. Here’s a video of it (it’s something you should see if you haven’t):
Ecuador is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. The most famous part of Ecuador is probably the Galapagos which is a huge supporter of eco-tourism. When I went to Ecuador, I spent most of the time on a cruise ship in the Galapagos. It was a lot of fun! The Galapagos is beautiful!
However, crime is a serious problem in Ecuador. Limited police and judicial resources contribute to low arrest rates and a high crime rate. Theft, especially pickpocketing, is the most common type of crime when it comes to U.S. tourists. That said, violent and sexual crimes are on the rise, even in large tourist areas. When I went to Ecuador four years ago, our tourist guide and the hotel we stayed at, highly advised against stepping foot outside the hotel or walking too far away from the tourist guide when we go outside. I was told that I shouldn’t even walk down the street. I couldn’t step one foot outside the hotel by myself. Something else I had to get used to was paying for using public restrooms, and not being able to flush the toilet paper. I’m pretty sure Mexico, which I also wrote about this year, is the same way.
That’s it for today’s blog. Thank you so much for reading! Until our next adventure!

Hi to every body, it’s my first visit of this web site; this weblog consists of amazing and in fact good data in support of readers.
Can I simply just say what a comfort to find someone that really understands what they’re discussing on the web. You actually understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More and more people should check this out and understand this side of the story. It’s surprising you’re not more popular given that you definitely have the gift.
Currently it sounds like WordPress is the preferred blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
Right now it seems like BlogEngine is the top blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
