Ecuador’s continental territory is crossed from North to South by the Andes mountain range that divides it into three strongly distinct natural regions: the Coastal Region (Costa), the Inter-Andean Region (Sierra) and the Amazon Region (Región Amazónica). In addition to these regions on the mainland, Ecuador has a fourth region: the Galapagos Islands (Archipiélago de Colón) located 1,000 kilometers from Ecuador’s coastline. The topography of the country ranges from sea level up to over 6.000 meters at the Andean snowcaps and the climate from tropical equatorial rainy weather to perpetual snow. |
