Gap Travel Ecuador
A great little country to visit on your gap travels, with a fast growing economy and lots of things to see and do. Quito, the capital, has beautiful snow capped mountains, and The Galapagos Islands are world renowned for their amazing wildlife, a must to see on a gap trip.
Like in most of South America, Ecuador offers many gap travel opportunities, including the language school option, possibly tied in with volunteering. Time spent helping local communities on your gap year will be much appreciated, and will also enhance your cv.
