Destination: Ecuador前進厄瓜多



Although Ecuador is the second smallest country in South America, it is bursting with things to see and do. No matter who you are or what you are into, you will enjoy every second of a vacation in Ecuador. Two of its most beautiful cities are Cuenca, in the highlands1 of Ecuador, and Quito, the country's capital. They are special because of their colonial2 buildings, which have made them World Heritage Sites3.

  If you love nature, Ecuador offers a large variety of unusual animals, insects, and plant life to investigate. If you long for adventure, there are high mountains to climb and exciting waves to surf. If culture is what you want, Ecuador is full of traditional markets that feature various kinds of native4 handicrafts5. A nice thing about Ecuador is that you don't have to plan much in advance. Everywhere you turn, adventure can be found. From swinging through the tree tops in the Amazon rain forest to eating guinea pigs6, a vacation in Ecuador will be the one you tell your grandchildren about.

雖然厄瓜多是南美洲第二小的國家,但它充滿著各種景觀與活動。不論您是誰、嗜好又為何,您將會享受在厄瓜多度假的每一刻。該國最美的兩座城市分別是位於厄瓜多高地的昆卡,以及首都基多。它們特別的地方在於殖民時期留下來的建築物,這使它們被列為聯合國世界遺產。

如果您喜愛大自然,厄瓜多有各式各樣奇特的動植物及昆蟲供您一探究竟。如果您渴望冒險,那裡有高山可爬,也有巨浪可衝。如果您的興趣是文化,厄瓜多則充滿各種主打當地手工藝品的傳統市集。到厄瓜多遊玩的一項好處就是您不需事先做太多計畫。您所到之處都能發現冒險旅程。從在亞馬遜雨林的樹巔之間盪來盪去、到大啖天竺鼠肉,厄瓜多之旅將會成為您跟您孫子講古的最棒題材。
