Customer Reviews

An excellent guide

I used this guide on a 6 week trip to Ecuador, and there were very few disappointments. The information on bus terminals in Quito could have been much better. It was misleading. We asked the cab driver where to get the bus to our destination. We traveled the entire breath of the country and that was the only failing worth mentioning. Hotel information was accurate.

ecuador revealed

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.

Great help for budget travelers

An excelent guide for people wanting to see Ecuador better than the average tourist, it has wonderfully explained items precious for off the beat explorers. A new edition is needed though due to the devaluation of the Sucre (prices are as lower as a third of what the book says)

A very practical, up-to-date view of Ecuador.

My wife and I have lived in Ibarra, Ecuador for a year now. We have used this book extensively in locating a place to live and touring throughout the country. Though the newest edition is now almost two years old, the prices quoted are still very reliable due to the devaluation of the Sucre.The information provided is very thorough and accurate and is a MUST for anyone traveling to Eucador.

Another triumphant edition, a "must have" for travelers.

This is the third edition that I have owned. I know that I can trust it to be the best, especially on a less than 5 star budget. Great background and vital information for everyone.
