Ecuador is considered one of the most ecologically diverse countries in the world, having more species of both flora and fauna than most anywhere. What an amazingly beautiful backdrop for a South American destination wedding! It's also a major center for sports, art, food, and film.

Mainland Ecuador is described in three regions: La Costa, low-lying pacific costal regions to the west; La Sierra, "the highlands" running north to south dominated by the Andes mountain range; and El Oriente, comprising the spectacular Amazon rainforest.

Ecuador is also home to the Galapagos Islands, or Región Insular. Teaming with a wide variety of exotic - and unusually friendly! - wildlife, these islands are the ultimate in ecological wedding destinations. There are many opportunities to experience this treasure - cruise ship, scuba dive, hiking, and more!
