Ecuador, where else can you straddle the equator and have one foot in each hemisphere? It's a charming little nook of South America that is like Pandora's box, small size yet bursting forth with rainforests, volcanoes, and mountain ranges! Don't get conned by its size - no other place can offer a quick tan on sun-soaked coastlines, cities with colonial charisma, and getting up close and personal with the largest parrot in the world, all in the same weekend. And the cherry on top? You can brag about defying gravity by balancing an egg on a nail at the Equator Line museum!
