Ecuador Geography SPANISH Back The Andes Mountains, which cross the country from north to south, divide continental Ecuador into Costa (Coastal Lowlands Sierra Highlands) and Oriente (Amazon Region). The Galapagos archipelago constitutes the fourth distinctive region. Politically and administratively, Ecuador is divided in 22 provinces: 5 on the Costa, 10 on the Sierra, 6 on the Oriente and, 1 on Galapagos Islands. The Costa is located between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains, consisting of coastal lowlands and mountains. The Costa extends the length of the coast and offers beautiful unspoiled beaches and resorts and rich agricultural land.

The country offers the visitor a multitude of different natural areas: The Highlands (Sierra) are made up of two high mountain ranges, running in a north-south direction. They essentially consist of 30 volcanoes, the West Cordillera (Cordillera Royal) and the East Cordillera (Cordillera Oriental). Nine volcanoes are still active today, with varying intensity. The high basins lying between both mountain ranges were used intensively for agriculture even before the Incas; the alluvial earth, fertilized with volcanic ash and coupled with a climate that is mild year-round, offers optimal conditions for agriculture. Quito , the capital of Ecuador, at a height of 2.850m, and situated in one of these high basins, is the economic focus of the region. It is also the starting point for trips to Otavalo, the rain forest, along the Avenue of the Volcanoes, Cuenca or down to the Peruvian border.
