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.
Christmas, or Navidad, in Ecuador is probably most celebrated holiday throughout the year. As a very religious country, Ecuador is also very family-oriented, but during Christmas family traditions are doubled, tripled, and quadrupled. Christmas is indeed family time, but there are, however, other incredibly sweet and heartwarming Christmas customs and traditions in Ecuador.
