Between Colombia and Peru, Ecuador, which passes through the equator, is one of the few countries in South America that produces both Arabica and robastian coffee.
In fact, Ecuador means "equator" in Spanish. Due to the use of old-fashioned traditional harvesting and handling methods, Ecuadorian coffee is not listed as a boutique coffee, so it is generally rarely seen.
Ecuador faces the Pacific Ocean, and near the equator, about 900km off its west coast, near the equator at 90 degrees west longitude, there is also a dependency of the Galapagos Islands (Galapagos Island), also known as Cologne, which produces the famous Galapagos coffee. In order to protect the natural ecology, the Ecuadorian government has designated the archipelago as a national park and banned the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals, so coffee in the Galapagos Islands is recognized as organic coffee.
Galapagos Islands coffee flavor is more balanced and neutral, moderately mellow, with a little obvious but pleasant acidity, with a special aroma. However, because it is rarely seen on the market, not many people talk about this coffee. Ecuador is one of the few countries in South America that produces both Arabica coffee and Robbins coffee. However, as the land suitable for Arabica coffee trees is decreasing, the production of Robbins coffee is gradually increasing. The best Arabica coffee comes from the Andes, especially the Chanchagu Valley (Chanchamgo Valley). The Andes are divided into two mountains, extending from south to north to central Ecuador.

In the mid-15th century, there were legends about enchanted mysterious islands among fishermen fishing in the western Pacific Ocean of South America. It is said that the islands can sometimes be seen clearly from a distance, but when the ship approaches, it disappears again; sometimes it looks like a galleon, sometimes it shows the shape of a witch. Fishermen call these islands "Devil Island", thinking that they may be ruled by demons like the sea banshees in the Odyssey. And this island, which fishermen call "Magic Island", is today's Galapagos Islands.
