Ecuador


Ecuador is a multicultural country located in the northeast part of South America. This country has had many governmental problems through the years that have made people live a deep economic crisis.
This country keeps a lot of traditions alive; specially the religious ones, such as going to church every Sunday or eating typical food according to the festivities.
The economy in Ecuador is supported by the exportation of natural resources such as the petroleum, banana, shrimp, coffee, etc. In the early 90`s the emigration of people to other countries trying to find a better life style increased dramatically and nowadays remittances are the second larger income for our country.
Ecuador is a diverse country that has four regions: landscapes, coast, rainforest and the insular region or Galapagos Islands which are a visited by thousand of tourists every year.
I chose to write about Ecuador because I think is a country full of magic places and great people that want to improve themselves everyday! : )

I am proud to be Ecuadorian; I love all the things that are in Ecuador, I like the mountains, rivers, food, people, and more things that I could find here. I think that young people like us, must find different ways to change the future of this country.

Food is the best!!!! I think I will miss it so much if I would have to leave the country. I have only been in Quito, Guayaquil and a few beaches. I feel shame when foreign people come to Ecuador and they have traveled to more places than me. They get very surprised when many of us tell them that we have not been there. We should think about it and visit beautiful places our country has.
