1. Quito:<\/strong>\u00a0De hoofdstad Quito staat op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO en wordt beschouwd als het best bewaarde stadscentrum in heel Latijns-Amerika.<\/p>\n

2. Biodiversiteit:<\/strong>\u00a0Ecuador herbergt meer dan 1.600 vogelsoorten en 6.000 zomervogelsoorten, waardoor het een van de 17 'megadiverse' landen ter wereld is. Ecuador is ook het meest biodiverse land ter wereld in termen van soorten per km2 en het 8e meest biodiverse land ter wereld in het algemeen.<\/p>\n

3. Rechten van de natuur:<\/strong>\u00a0Ecuador was het eerste land ter wereld dat natuurrechten in zijn grondwet opnam.<\/p>\n

4. Chimborazo:<\/strong>\u00a0Het hoogste punt van Ecuador, Chimborazo (6.267 m), is een vulkaan die 's werelds verste punt van het middelpunt van de aarde is - ondanks het feit dat Chimborazo niet de hoogste berg op aarde is. De verklaring achter dit fenomeen is dat de aarde door haar elliptische vorm bol staat rond de evenaar, waardoor het oppervlak verder van het middelpunt van de aarde af ligt dan andere delen van de planeet.<\/p>\n

5. Duur van de dagen:<\/strong>\u00a0Door de ligging van Ecuador op de evenaar is er weinig verschil in daglengte gedurende het jaar. De zon komt daarom elke dag van het jaar rond 6:00 uur op.<\/p>\n

Feit: De wereldberoemde 'Panamahoed' komt oorspronkelijk uit Ecuador - niet Panama zoals de naam doet vermoeden.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Cotopaxi:<\/strong>\u00a0Ecuador is de thuisbasis van 's werelds hoogste actieve vulkaan, Cotopaxi, die ongeveer 5.900 m meet. Cotopaxi is ook Ecuador's meest actieve vulkaan.<\/p>\n

7. Opkomst kiezers:<\/strong>\u00a0Deelname aan verkiezingen (d.w.z. stemmen) is verplicht voor alle Ecuadorianen tussen 18-65 jaar.<\/p>\n

8. Olie:<\/strong>\u00a040% van de export van Ecuador is olie<\/p>\n

9. Amerikaanse dollars:<\/strong>\u00a0Als gevolg van een economische crisis is de munteenheid in Ecuador sinds 2000 de Amerikaanse dollar. Door een tekort aan munten produceert de Ecuadoraanse regering echter haar eigen munten, de 'centavo'. Voor de dollar was de munteenheid van het land de zogenaamde 'Sucre', genoemd naar de 2e president van Bolivia; Antonio Jos\u00e9 de Sucre.<\/p>\n

10. Emigratie:<\/strong>\u00a0Vanwege de economische instabiliteit in hun thuisland wonen ongeveer 2-3 miljoen Ecuadorianen in het buitenland - velen van hen in Spanje.<\/p>\n
