Where Is Ecuador?

Ecuador is located within the northwestern reaches of South America. Colombia is north of Ecuador and Peru is to the south and east. The Pacific Ocean forms the westernmost boundary, and the equator (for which the country is named) runs through Ecuador just north of Quito.

The mesmerizing hues of blue that line Ecuador’s Pacific shoreline attract many travelers from the country’s mountainous regions. The arid coastline offers visitors beautiful beaches, a great diversity of marine life, and fresh seafood.

Quito

Set an elevation of 9,350 ft (2,850 m), Quito is the highest capital city in the world. The population of this bustling city is a contrasting mix of Ecuadorians sporting sleek business suits and colorful indigenous clothing. These contrasts exemplify the mix of politics, history and culture that define Quito. Founded in the 16th century atop the ruins of an Inca city, Quito is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a premier destination for those visiting Ecuador.
