厄瓜多尔(Ecuador)在西语里有“赤道”的意思,赤道线完美地横贯在这个国家的首都基多。厄瓜多尔位于南美洲西北部,东北毗邻哥伦比亚,东南与秘鲁接壤,北部西临太平洋。这个神秘的南美洲国家,孕育了古印加帝国的文明、亚马孙的原始部落、西班牙的殖民文化以及奇妙的赤道风光。 Ecuador has the meaning of “equator” in Spanish and the Equator line traverses perfectly in the capital of the country, Quito. Ecuador is located in northwestern South America, bordering Colombia in the northeast, Peru in the southeast, and the Pacific Ocean in the north. This mysterious South American country gave birth to the ancient Inca civilization, the primitive tribes of Amazonas, the Spanish colonial culture and the fantastic equatorial scenery.
