From my section “Places you Have to See” I would like to present to you Places You Have to See in Ecuador. Ecuador is a very versatile place, no matter if you like hiking, hanging out on the beach, colonial architecure, jungle trekking, observing wildlife or traditional markets, Ecuador has it all.
This time the post will be a little different. Instead of just listing you the Places You Have to See in Ecuador I also collected the best blog posts for each place to make it easier for you to get the best and most detailed information about each place and to have all the important blog posts about Ecuador at hand in one article. In case you have already planned everything for your trip to Ecuador but you still need accommodation I also added some of the best hostels in Ecuador to the List.
