You'll want to apply for a K-3 spouse visa on her behalf assuming you are a US citizen.

You don't need to apply for K-3 visa, as suggested above. This visa had become obsolete. What you need to apply for is an Immigrant visa (green card). Depending on whether you live in Ecuador or in USA, you file the I-130 petition with all supporting documents with either the US Consulate in Ecuador (IF they allow direct consular filing AND you reside in Ecuador), OR in the USA with the USCIS/Dept of Homeland Security. I assume that you are a USA citizen.

Provided that you are a US Citizen you can file an Alien Relative Petition on behalf of your wife with the USCIS. Once the petition is approved your wife�s case will be forwarded to the US Consulate in Ecuador where her interview will take place.
