Places in Ecuador?

Can you recommend what else to see besides Quito and Guayaquil?

If you are going to Ecuador I strongly recommend going to Cuenca. It's like an hour from Guayaquil, it;s in the highlands and it's a very nice town, nice scenary and nice people too. You can also visit Otavalo (nice handicraft market) and Ba帽os. Also you need to go and see the Equator line and put a foot in each hemisphere, it's cool.
