Ecuador & the Galapagos Islands

A capital city high in the Andes, Quito is dramatically situated, hemmed in by mountain peaks whose greenery is concealed by gray afternoon mist. Warm and relaxed, traditional Ecuadorian Sierra culture - overflowing market stands, shamanistic healers, fourth-generation hatmakers - mixes with a vibrant and sophisticated culinary and nightlife scene.

Coverage includes: History, Sights, Activities, Courses, Tours, Festivals & Events, Sleeping, Eating, Drinking & Nightlife, Entertainment, Shopping, Around Quito, La Mitad del Mundo, Reserva Geobotánica Pululahua & Around, Volcán Pichincha, and Refugio de Vida Silvestre Pasochoa.

Don’t forget the offer of 3 for 2 books across all formats
