Ecuador

Ecuador has several climate zones. In the higher regions, the temperatures vary between 5 and 20 degrees. In the lower-lying regions, the temperatures are around 30 degrees. The country is known for its Inca ruins, the Amazon, the Andes mountains and the many active volcanoes and hot springs. There are many traditional markets there.

Ecuador has experienced recent economic growth and the road infrastructure and education have been improved. Poverty rates have also declined. However, not much has changed for farmers in the remote rural areas of the inhospitable Andes mountains. There, poverty continues to assume worrying proportions. The infrastructure often leaves a lot to be desired and the level of education is low.

Oil and mining are important economic drivers, followed by trade and services. Important agricultural products are potatoes, quinoa, bananas, cocoa and sugar. Ecuador’s wealth and land are in the hands of a limited number of people, making the gap between rich and poor wide. Some 21% of the population lives below the poverty line.
