When it comes to pageants, Ecuador performance could be considered as a mediocre one. They have made one or two buzz in the past, but overall still eclipsed by their far stronger fellow South American neighbors like Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. That suddenly changed in 2011, when this country won the crowns of the two biggest international pageants, Miss International and Miss Earth.
