Ecuador is a physically beautiful country and its volcanic Galapagos Islands are fascinating. Here are some of the shots I took from our recent trip. We spent time in the Galapagos Islands, the capital Quito, which sits at 9000 ft elevation and a rain forest resort in the Andes a few hours NW of Quito.
