3. Montañita (Little Hill)
This is a petite seaside town situated in the prefecture of
Santa Elena, which is somewhere around a 180 kilometers
northwest of the Guayaquil city. This little town became
very famous recently. Back in the old days, it was only
known as a surfing spot, and had just a few rusty old
fisherman houses, and a few surfing tents here and there
during the summer. It was until 1960, the city got a little
recognizable. It was linked to many foreign people who
started the hippie movement and decided to settle down
permanently in the city. Thanks to them, the city became a
hotspot for surfers from around the globe, who still
consider this beach as one of the best on the South Coast of
the Country.

4. New Cathedral of Cuenca
Cuencais the third largest city of the country, this city gained
popularity for two reasons, one its pleasant climate all year
and two, because of the New Cathedral. The blueprint of this
cathedral was drawn out by a German born contemplative,
Juan Bautista Stiehle who came to the city from Alsace in
1873 on Bishop Leon Garrido’s orders. He lived from 1829-
1899. The work began in 1885 and took almost a century to
be completed. The cathedral has three main domes. They are
made up of white and striking blue glazed tiles brought from
Czechoslovakia. This magnificent structure was born after
nearly a hundred years of intense labor, and is also the reason
why it’s so famous.

5. Otavalo Market
If you want to experience the flavor of local art, this is the
right place for you. The local artists of the country put up
their clothing, arts and crafts for sale. The art is so
beautiful that this city became famous all over the world,
because of the homegrown handiwork of the Otavalos (the
local community of the town). The city’s Plaza de Ponchos
holds the sales of a variety of stone and wood carvings,
woven clothing and jewelry every Saturday. Every tourist
coming to Quito never forgets to add Otavalo Market on
his tour list.

It’s obviously the church located in Quito’s old town. The
building process began in the year 1550 in a place where the
Incan ruler Atahualpa‘s Palace stood, back in the day.It’s
famous because it’s not just a church, it’s a whole complex
of the Minster, which covers two blocks and has a museum
connected to it. This church holds the position of being one
of the most important cultural hubs of Latin America.

7. The Galapagos island
The Galapagos Islands are the only reason behind the fame
of the whole country. If you step into Ecuador, you
shouldn’t ever come back until you see this place. It has
become a hub spot for travelers around the world also,
because Galapagos offers a wide range of tour packages
and Scuba Diving as well as Snorkeling sessions around.
You can even call it as Mother Nature’s paradise of living
organisms. Now this is not just one single islet but a whole
bunch of them, situated in the Eastern Pacific. Reason
behind this popularity is their unadulterated condition
since centuries.
