Isabela Accommodations
Shaped like a sea horse, Isabela is the largest of the the islands in the Galapagos, more than 4 times larger than Santa Cruz the next largest. Isabela is 80 miles (100 km) in length and though it is remarkably beautiful it is not one of the most visited islands in the chain. Villamil is considered one of the most beautiful place in the Galapagos. The town’s long white-sand beach is trimmed with palm trees and provides views of the crystal-clear ocean that stretch for miles.
Quito Accommodations
Located at 9,600 feet elevation Quito, the main city in the Ecuadorian Andes, is two cities in one. Contrasts between the colonial old city and the modern new city to the north are as visible as between those of its fertile green valleys and the snowcapped volcanoes overhead. In 1979 UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) named Quito a world heritage site, becoming a City of Cultural Patrimony of Mankind by the Organization of United Nations.
Guayaquil Accommodations
Set along the chocolate-brown Guayas River on the flat coastal plains of Ecuador, Guayaquil is the largest city in Ecuador. With a population near 3 million and it is home to one of the country's two international airports. Though it has always had a strong economy and plenty of nightlife, due to a series of fires it does not have the same cultural heritage as Quito or Cuenca. Though due to a restoration over the past few years Guayaquil does have a number of attractions making it an enjoyable city to visit.
