sides of the equatorial line approximately 970 
km (600 miles) west from continental 
Ecuador. The largest island is Isabela.
Highlands 
• The highlands region of Ecuador, lies between 
the western coastal lowlands and the eastern 
jungles. It is a naturally diverse area of 
untamed volcanoes, hot springs (thermal 
baths), unique flora and fauna, serene 
landscapes, misty cloud forests, and barren 
paramo vistas.
Coast 
The Ecuadorian Pacific coast and western 
lowlands locally known as "la Costa" is formed 
by the following densely populated provinces, 
from north to south: Esmeraldas, Manabí, Los 
Ríos, Guayas and El Oro.
Amazon

east of the Andes, is one of the most 
accessible and traveler-friendly areas of the 
upper Amazon basin, the biologically richest 
area anywhere on earth. There are 
innumerable varieties of flora, including many 
of Ecuador's 4,500 species of orchids, and 
many plants with medicinal value.
