of rumbling volcanoes, they live in poverty amid immeasurable riches, and they delight in sad music.\u201d With these words, Alexander von Humboldt described a country that captivated him deeply.<\/p>\n<p>Born on September 14, 1769, the naturalist is still regarded as one of the most influential scientists of his era. Humboldt was at once an explorer, ethnographer, geographer, geologist, botanist, and volcanologist. During his five-year expedition through South America, he traveled more than 10,000 kilometers alongside French botanist Aim\u00e9 Bonpland \u2013 and devoted himself with particular passion to Ecuador.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Humboldt\u2019s \u201cAvenue of Volcanoes\u201d<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Fascinated by the power and beauty of nature, Humboldt coined the term <strong>\u201cAvenida de los Volcanes\u201d \u2013 Avenue of Volcanoes<\/strong> for the inter-Andean valley where 44 volcanoes rise in a majestic chain. His observations on geology, flora, and climate laid the foundations for numerous scientific discoveries, including the Humboldt Current, which still bears his name today.<\/p>\n<p>Humboldt\u2019s spirit of discovery and his enthusiasm for nature and people continue to shape the fascination Ecuador inspires in travelers to this day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
