[[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.
