The Rough Guide to Ecuador & the Galápagos Islands

The new edition of The Rough Guide to Ecuador is a comprehensive guide to this culturally and ecologically diverse country, straddling both hemispheres. It includes in-depth information on Ecuador’s varied wildlife and vibrant indigenous communities, plus coverage of some of the most awe-inspiring scenery in South America – from the Amazon rainforest to the heights of the Andes, via beautiful, sandy beaches. We cover all of Ecuador’s highlights, from colonial cities to off-the-beaten track villages, snowcapped volcanoes to rolling cloudforests, plus details on the best festivals throughout the year. As well as coverage of mainland Ecuador – including in-depth chapters on the two main cities Quito and Guayaquil – we have a section dedicated to the Galápagos Islands, the world’s best wildlife destination.
