There is great variety in the climate, largely determined by altitude.
Ecuador lies between latitudes 2°N and 5°S, and longitudes 75° and 92°W.
Healthcare throughout Ecuador is of a very high standard. Many Doctors and Specialists speak English and treat you so well you could be forgiven for thinking you are living back in the 1950's. Generally a Doctors visit may set you back $20. They even make house calls when necessary. Specialist fees are around $30-$40.
