E c u a d o rFOUR WORLDS IN A NUTSHELL

Ecuador is located on the northwestern coast of South America and is noteworthy for its wide array of indigenous cultures, well preserved colonial architecture, spectacular volcanic landscapes and dense rainforest. One can’t help but stand in awe at the beauty of its surprises. The diversity of its people, its places, and its things allows for settings less than even a few miles apart to bear little true resemblance to each other. The more you delve into Ecuador’s natural, cultural and environmental subtleties, the more you will stand convinced that there is nothing like it.

BRACE YOURSELF

Waking up to the sights of a new island each

morning sets the stage for your very own

evolutionary process, from initial curiosity to the

sheer excitement of knowing something new

and wonderful is out there waiting to amaze you.

Every day brings new surprises and you will want

to be ready…

I s l a n d A c t i v i t i e s ON THEIR TURF

Evolution is a rather obscure, fl eeting idea in

our everyday life, but in the Galapagos it is a

spectacle of majestic proportions, in which every

inhabitant is an active protagonist who wants to

show you just how good they are at it. Far from

having anything to hide, they seem pleased to

share their lives with you. This is the most unique

performance that Nature has to offer.

PHOTOGRAPHERS WELCOME

They will pose. And they’ll pose again… until you

get it right. A good subject wouldn’t have it any

other way and the photographer in you won’t want

to miss a beat… So don’t forget your telephoto

lenses, your disposable underwater cameras, and

as many memory cards as you can get your hands

on… you’ll be taking pictures!

FASCINATING DOWN UNDER!

Cormorants forgot to fl y, iguanas learned to swim;

turtles became gigantic, and sharks mild; a place

where sea lions show off their swimming skills and

blue-footed boobies perform their elegant two step

mating dance right under your nose, and explore a

spectacular underwater spectrum.

IMAGINE A MARKETPLACE THATCAN FILL AN ENTIRE TOWN!

Nearby Otavalo market and Ibarra, once home to Atahualpa, the last of the Incan emperors, the Karanki community of Magdalena inhabits a paradise lost in time, amongst llamas and condors, peaceful lagoons and the patchwork slopes of Imbabura Volcano. It is immersed in this breathtaking pastoral setting that the Karanki keep the same harmonious relationship with their environment they’ve kept for centuries, tending to their livestock, cultivating their land and enjoying the clear mountain air.

Cuenca is the third largest city of Ecuador and is the scenic convergence of four vigorous Andean rivers and a “World Heritage” colonial center in its own right. A well-rounded crafty breed of citizens, talented in a range of creative endeavors from intricate basket weaving to fi ne silverwork, are the generous hosts of this hospitable town. They will proudly show you their best work. The city also features countless memorable points of interest, from colonial plazas, or cozy bars overlooking the riverbank to fragrant fl ower markets and historic churches. Ingapirca Ruins, Gualaceo, Chordeleg and Cajas National park are some of the visits that must be included.

People wear bright ponchos and typical hats; they continue with their ancient harvesting traditions and live with their animals. In Ecuador it is easy to have close encounters with indigenous communities that still keep their own languages, traditions, and beliefs in magical towns such as Saquisili, Pujili, Baños, Salcedo, Riobamba, Alausi to be included in your journeys.Ecuador’s cultural colors are represented by more than 13 different languages and some 40-odd ethnic groups who take pride in their ancestral customs. Such unique human diversity in an area no larger than the U.S. state of Colorado gives testimony to the extreme complexities that make Ecuador what it is.

Guayaqu i l & The Coas tEXPERIENCE THE CHARM OF THE PACIFIC COAST

The largest city in Ecuador, Guayaquil is a modern, bustling metropolis in the heart of tropical America, constantly striving for change with a people of unique warmth and grace. Malecón 2000, the complete makeover of Guayaquil’s boardwalk, and the recent restoration of Barrio Las Peñas, the original Spanish settlement site of the city, have re-appropriated the city port ward life and are always busy hangouts that feature a range of bars, restaurants, boutiques, museums, gardens and magnifi cent views.

At just about 3 hours or 45 minutes direct fl ight from the nation’s capital, you can be fl oating in silence down the still black waters of a jungle stream, deep in shadow amid a careful choral orchestration of countless creatures and immersed in the most exuberant botanical garden on Earth. Discover the active understory through jungle hikes or walk along a canopy bridge for unsurpassable views and face to face interaction with monkeys and other unique tree dwellers. Many different birds, insects, dolphins, tapirs, capybaras, and other animals can be found here in their natural habitat.
