COAST
The coast of Ecuador is situated on the Pacific Ocean and consists of fertile land for agriculture. The area is located just a few meters above sea level and therefore the temperatures are high (up to 40 ° C). In this area you find the biggest city in the country: Guayaquil. The largest river flowing into the Pacific Ocean from South America, Guayas, has here its mouth.
