There are three different types of terrain in the country. The Sierra Nevada is located in the central highlands, while the east has jungles and the coast lowlands are close to the ocean. Because of the different heights, it has a fairly varied climate. It gets colder inland and stays tropical at the coast and in the jungle. There are more than 17 million people living there. Quito serves as the nation's capital. But with more than 2.6 million residents, Guayaquil is the most populated city.Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO), which handles 5.1 million passengers annually, is the biggest international airport in the nation. It is now South America's 20th busiest airport as a result. Antonio José de Sucre, the leader of independence, is honored by the name.
