Ecuador - Mainland

We visited the mainland of Ecuador in 2018, both before and after our trip to the Galapagos Islands (see map). We spent a few days in the historic capital Quito - at 2,850 amsl the second highest capital in the world. It was also one of the first places to gain UNESCO World Heritage Status (in 1978, together with Galapagos and Krakow). We then flew to Coca in the Amazon and traveled by boat to the wonderful Napo Wildlife Centre. After returning to Quito, we made a short visit to a Cloud Forest. We visited Guayaquil after our trip to Galapagos. This album is a mix of architecture, people and wildlife!
