This book was an excellent resource for our two week vacation to Ecuador, including the Galapagos, in May of 2009. Lots of practical, helpful information.
I used this guide on a 6 week trip to Ecuador, and there were very few disappointments. We asked the cab driver where to get the bus to our destination. The information on bus terminals in Quito could have been much better. It was misleading. We traveled the entire breath of the country and that was the only failing worth mentioning. Hotel information was accurate.
Granted, I am 50 andy eyesight isn't what it used to be. Basically the layout and info is good, though some important stuff was outdated,ie current location of the terminal terrestre (bus station) in Quito (This created some testy, but fun conversation with the taxi driver). One thing to beware of---the map symbols and numbers are miniscule. But if there is any one most important info in a travel guide,it's the maps. Grow it please.Nice size overall for lightwgt travel.Narratives on history and background just right.
this book is not only informative but gives insight into the ecuadorian people.one feels as though you had already travelled there and were reading some memories.the pics are fantastic.although i would have prefered more.the descriptions are excellent and the suggestions are being hi-lited for our trip.makes for great reading.
Excellent book to give you an idea of Ecuador and help you plan your trip.
