Ecuador at a glance: its flag, its capital Quito, its population and where it sits on the world map. Plus a way to test yourself afterwards.
Like Colombia and Venezuela, Ecuador carries the colours inherited from the flag of Gran Colombia; its own version stands apart through the coat of arms added at the centre in 1900, under President Eloy Alfaro.
A condor with outstretched wings crowns the shield, where Mount Chimborazo overlooks a river carrying a steamboat, South America’s first, built in Guayaquil; a sun ringed by four zodiac signs marks key dates of the independence struggle.
