When Quito withdrew from the territories in 1830, the country became the "Republic of the Equator." Between 1904 and 1942, Ecuador lost territories in a series of conflicts with its neighbors. A border war with Peru that flared in 1995 was resolved in 1999. Although Ecuador marked 25 years of civilian governance in 2004, the period has been marred by political instability. These days it is safe to visit with many sights to see. Which one would you most like to take in for yourself?
