Rural and indigenous peoples in Ecuador have used traditional medicine to treat illnesses for hundreds of years. This medicine is based on the use of medicinal plants, wild animals, and other customs practiced by those who have a specific gift. These practices are a legacy of the ancestors, and people who have been given the gift of healing are referred to as dgase curanderos, shamanes, and parteras, depending on the region of the country. âlimpias del aireâ, el alivio del mal de ojo (ojeado), and aguardiente mixed with medicinal plants are among the most well-known and practiced costumes in traditional medicine for treating various ailments. Another procedure that is used as part of traditional medicine and is well-known in the Andina region is the use of the cuy to clean and cure envidia-related illnesses.

The Galapagos Islands are made up of 19 islands where the sonic and volcanic activity has transformed them into a marine reserve, as well as a live laboratory and museum that attracts thousands of visitors each year. The location is in the Galpagos Province, 1000 kilometers south of the South American continent in the Pacific Ocean. The islands have a diverse range of marine organisms as a result of their unique location, which is sandwiched between three oceanic currents. Iguanas, pinzones, and giant tortugas are examples of the terrestrial fauna found on these islands. The Galapagos Islands were declared a National Park in 1959, and UNESCO declared them a World Natural Heritage Site in 1978. Later, in 1985, it was designated as a biosphere reserve, and a year later, the sea that surrounds this group of islands was designated as a marine reserve.
