−'''Ecuador''' is a country in [[South America]] known for straddling the [[equator]]; its capital [[Quito]] is a mere 20 miles from the equator, presenting barely varying day lengths by around 15 minutes. Because Ecuador is tropical, though, [[winter]] and [[summer]] don't occur simultaneously, as they are both temperate seasons.

+==Review==
+[[User:SGuySMW|I]] visited Ecuador for 12 days and I loved it. Ecuador is one of the most underrated countries in [[South America]], if not the world. If you want to stay, then I recommend the capital Quito. For a day, you can visit the old town (filled with impressive [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] churches, from a Baroque cathedral looking over a large plaza to a well-designed Gothic basilica) and stand with one foot on both hemispheres at the [[equator]] (fun fact: Ecuador was actually named after the equator). For another day, you can ride the [[Cable car|teleferico]] up an active [[volcano]] and enjoy the magnificent views of Quito and the surrounding [[Andes]]. Maybe you'll see some [[llama]]s as well. Another exciting adventure out of Quito would be a tour of [[Mindo]] and its surrounding cloud forests. Oh, and did I mention you can feed [[hummingbird]]s? There are 152 different species of hummingbird in Ecuador alone (around 40% of all species). Overall, Mindo's cloud forests are incredibly biodiverse (much like the entire country). Even by looking at the different [[tanager]]s, you'll easily fall in love.
+However, there is the [[Galápagos Islands]]. Beware of [[Pinniped|seals]] everywhere you look.
+Islands aside, I highly recommend visiting Ecuador.
+==Antarctic research==
+Ecuador is one of 30 countries with a research in [[Antarctica]]. Just like how [[Peru]] neighbours Ecuador, the Peruvian base too neighbours the Ecuadorian base.
