Ecuador is a very compact South American country brimming with biodiversity and incredible natural beauty. Less than half a day from the capital city, Quito, you will find the Andean mountains, the Amazon Rainforest and the beaches of the Pacific coast – perfect for expeditions, adventure sports and chilling out. Ancient ruins and countless volcanoes can be found all over the country including the isolated Galapagos Islands (made famous by Darwin’s theory of evolution) which are separated from the mainland by the Pacific Ocean.

 

Ecuadorians are renowned for their warmth and welcoming nature, which you will experience firsthand throughout Ecuador. And if you do ask a local for directions, be prepared to be taken to your destination in person! Sport also plays a big part in Ecuadorian society, with their national teams and individual sportsmen commanding considerable respect on the world stage. Grassroots development, however, is neglected in many parts. This makes Ecuador the ideal place for you to offer your sports experience and knowledge to hundreds of sporty children.
