"It is time to send into retirement those old style politicians who have done so much damage to Ecuador."

The Republic of Ecuador is located on the western coast of South America, north and west of Peru and south and west of Colombia. Ecuador has an area of 283,560 sq km (109,483 sq mi). The Galapagos Islands, a famous wildlife sanctuary, are also a part of Ecuador. With a tropical climate in the coastal area, the country also encompasses land in the drier and colder Andean region. Ecuador's highest mountain, the Chimborazo, reaches 6,267 m (19,000 ft) and forms part of the Andes mountain chain that extends from Colombia in the north to Argentina and Chile in the south.
