Things to do in Ecuador

Arriving at Turtle Bay on a new moon night, the beach shimmered with a cold, silvery phosphorescence under the moonlight. Following the tracks left by the ranger's red flashlight, we suddenly saw leatherback turtles emerge from the waves like prehistoric warships—their eyes brimming with the salt of the Pacific Ocean, using their flippers to dig the holy grail of life in the sand. The moment the first egg fell into the nest, everyone present held their breath, with only the sound of the tide providing accompaniment to this ritual that had continued for hundreds of millions of years. At dawn, the hatchlings broke through the sand, trudging towards the indigo dawn on the horizon, instantly filling the beach with the trails of miniature galaxies. The ranger whispered, "The pattern on the shell of each returning mother turtle is a unique star map." And in my hand, I found a drop of warm, salty incubation water that had drifted in with the sea breeze.

There are all kinds of lizards in the Lizard Park, and my personal favorite is the water monitor lizard. The reason is very simple. First of all, the water monitor lizard likes to swim in the water, and its posture is very funny, as if it is a crocodile with an engine. What you should pay attention to in the Lizard Park is that lizards run around everywhere, so you should pay attention to the monitor lizards. Monitor lizards generally like to eat carrion and have bacteria in their mouths. Be careful of being bitten. It is recommended to drive in to play and try to walk as little as possible.

The old town is pretty good, and the view from the top of a nearby mountain overlooking the entire old town is also very spectacular. It is densely packed with old houses of various colors. The most prominent and spectacular one here is the cathedral, which really gives people a feeling of standing out from the crowd.

The building of the Presidential Palace itself is quite ordinary, not tall and magnificent, but this place is indeed a symbol of independence and politics for the entire country, so many people come here to check in, and it is decorated quite well.

This is a popular tourist attraction in the southern suburbs of Quito. The so-called equator is the zero degree meridian. It is the boundary between the northern and southern hemispheres. There is a small museum here that you can visit. The nearby attractions are also good.

The National Vow Church is called "Basilica" by the locals. It is 151 meters tall and can be seen from any side of the city. It is indeed tall enough. Inside, it is very simple and there are not many things. There is an additional fee to climb to the top, which is not expensive. We were tired and did not go up. Other churches in Quito are much more luxurious than this one.

A nice place to enjoy with family and friends, I totally recommend going there.

Carolina Park in Quito is a large natural national park in Ecuador. The scenery here is very magnificent, with endless peaks, long and winding coastline, and majestic valleys, all of which make it the most popular natural attraction in Quito.
