All You Need is Ecuador: See the Ad from Super Bowl 49

Like Nowhere Else • All in One Place • So Close This past weekend Ecuador made history by becoming the first foreign country to have an advertisement featured during the commercial break of the Super Bowl — and they set the bar really high. In only 30 seconds, this ad provides a glimpse of some of the many incredible worlds Ecuador offers — volcanic terrain, giant tortoises, playful boobies, and splashing sea lions in the Galápagos, peculiar Hoatzin birds situated along the shores of the Amazon's oxbow lakes, and stunning colonial architecture in Quito. If you didn't catch the ad for Ecuador on Sunday, check it out below!
