ECUADOR BEACH VACATION
Ecuador has a dramatic landscape, and the coastline is no exception. You can find empty beaches where humpback whales perform acrobatics near the coast, and popular beaches with warm water and a bustling town. Take a cruise to the Galápagos to see beaches covered in sea lions and rare species of waterfowl.
