It's got key mountains. It's very beautiful. You have these subtropical valleys and then you have, you go to the amazon basin. You have the jungle. So you have the jungle from the coast, the jungle also going to the Amazon, and you have this beautiful area in the Andes, so it's very, very nice.

何塞：厄瓜多爾是一個你可以在一天內(nèi)體驗所有季節(jié)的國家。你可以體驗到許多微型氣候，因為那里有安第斯山脈，有海岸線，還有其他兩座山脈，還有名為火山路的地方。那是個重點山區(qū)。非常漂亮。那里有位于亞熱帶的山谷，有亞馬遜盆地和叢林。叢林與海岸線相連，叢林也和亞馬遜盆地相連，安第斯山脈是個非常漂亮的地方，非常非常棒。

You can actually swim with the sea lions and they are chomping next to you, very beautiful. But I can not separate nature and from the people, so that is my problem. I think Ecuador is a very interesting place to be.

何塞：對，沒錯!但是那是個非常漂亮的地方。我是說，如果你只是作為游客去那里的話，那非常棒，那是個很特別的地方。你可以和海獅一起游泳，它們就在你旁邊，非常漂亮。當(dāng)然我不能把自然和人類分開，所以這是我的問題。我認(rèn)為厄瓜多爾是一個非常有意思的地方。
