Ecuador

The smallest country in the rugged Andean highlands, Ecuador has an array of vibrant indigenous cultures, well-preserved colonial architecture, otherworldly volcanic landscapes and dense rainforest. And all that in a nation no bigger than the US state of Nevada. In terms of weather, there are only two real seasons - the rainy season and the dry season - but there are significant variations among the geographical regions, and temperature is often a factor of altitude. Even during the rainy season, most days are sunny until the afternoon. Coastal Ecuador is quite cloudy most of the time but enjoys daily highs averaging around 30°C (86°F) the year round and a short but quite damp wet season between January and April. The Galapagos Islands are strangely dry for their equatorial position. (lonelyplanet.com)
