Ecuador is a country in the northwest of South America. It shares its borders with Colombia and Peru, and to the west, it faces the Pacific Ocean. The Amazon rainforest is located in the eastern part of the country. The climate is tropical: warm and humid. The many rivers in this area are all tributaries of the Amazon. There is a great variation in the climate, largely determined by altitude.The mountain valleys have a mild climate all year round, while the coastal areas experience a humid subtropical climate, and the lowlands are covered by rainforest.
