본문내용

Ecuador is located in the northwest part of South America, bordering Colombia, Peru, and the Pacific Ocean. Originally, it was a part of the federation known as La República de Gran Colombia which gained independence from Spain in 1822. Ecuador became a separate country in 1830. Today, Ecuador is the smallest country in South America with the size of Colorado.
The ethnic heritage of the people of Ecuador is diverse. About one-fourth of the population is indigenous to the area, about half is mestizo (mixture of Indian and European), and the remaining one-fourth is comprised of other ethnicities, including African and Caucasian.
Ecuador has a total population of over 13 million people, and approximately 1.5 million live in the capital city of Quito. The official language of Ecuador is Spanish. About 95 percent of the Ecuadorans are Roman Catholic.
