How to recognise Ecuador from the road
Drives on the right
Volcanoes, steep green valleys and the equator running through the middle. Ecuador packs a lot into a small space.
What to look for
1
Spanish signs
Signs are in Spanish, with distances in kilometres.
2
The sun overhead
Ecuador sits on the equator, so the sun is high in the sky at midday all year.
3
Steep and green
In the Andes, roads wind through steep, intensely farmed green slopes, often with volcanoes behind.
