Synopsis

The Rough Guide to Ecuador is the ultimate handbook to this fascinating and dramatically diverse country and includes complete coverage of the unique Galapagos islands. A full colour introduction gives an insight into the country's highlights from snorkelling in the Galapagos to exploring Quito's colonial churches. Detailed accounts are given of these attractions as well as all the others from the unspoiled jungle of the Oriente and the highland farms of the central sierra to partying at the capital's latest nightspots. There is also practical advice on a range of activities from learning Spanish in Quito to shoppping in Otavalo's bustling markets or climbing Volcan Cotopaxi. There are up-to-the-minute reviews of the best places to stay, eat and drink, plus the pick of the cyber cafes and shops. Finally there are over fifty maps and expert background on Ecuador's history, culture, indigenous peopls and environmental issues.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Melissa Graham first got hooked on Latin America when studying Spanish American literature and history at Cambridge University. She has since travelled widely in the Andean countries and is the co-author of the Rough Guide to Chile.

Harry Ades was conceived in Oaxaca but didn't make it back for more than twenty years. He grew up in London with pictures of Aztecs and Incas on his wall, but - suspecting this was not a decent substitute for the real thing - he set off for Central and South America, where he fell in love with Ecuador. He has written five books and articles for the Financial Times, and lives in London.
