I spent a month in Educator, definitely not enough time to experience the entire country, but with this guide, I was able to experience more than I would have otherwise.The initial historical context set up by the book prepared me for what I would encounter in the country - I even loved that they touched, albeit briefly, on the tenuous race relations between Ecuadorian ethnic groups.As a black woman who loves to travel the world, I'm always curious to know how I will be perceived/what reception I will receive, so this tidbit of information was extremely helpful.I was participating in a language immersion program, so I stayed with a host family and thus can not speak to the hotel recommendations, however, I did have opportunity to visit a many of the recommended restaurants and night spots and I have to say, they were spot on with their selections.I think this book presented an authentic picture of Ecuador, covering the major regions quite adequately.I also had the Lonely Planet guidebook, but this was the one that rarely left my side and it is definitely part of the reason I had such an enjoyable time in Ecuador. Posted on December 3, 2010 Tyron Siena says... We just returned from visiting Ecuador for the first time. Between the four of us, we had several choices for guidebooks, but found The Rough Guide to Ecuador to be the most helpful when looking for a place to eat or to sleep. We'll only take this one if we go back! Posted on December 3, 2010 Lelah Broten says... I think this book is a comprehensive and excellent resource for anyone considering moving to Ecuador, which would be me.The topics from history to current culture and politices, climate, demographics, etc. were very helpful to me. Posted on December 4, 2010 Lore Bienenstock says... I am 3 weeks away from my first trip to Ecuador, and South America, and have throughly enjoyed this guide book.All of the Moon guides I have read are good.Unfortunately my copy ordered on June 2, 2010, has pages 85-116 replaced with a repeat of pages 53-84 so this is just a warning to check your copy when you get it.It was beyond the return date before I noticed it and I'm still trying to find out how to get a replacement. Hopefully this is just a fluke and other copies are fine. Posted on December 6, 2010 Benito Heltsley says... We have just returned from a month in Ecuador and found the new Rough Guide invaluable. Each chapter is clearly laid out and gives an accurate summary of regional highlights. It definitely made our trip planning and travel much easier. Ecuador is an amazing Andean country, with rainforests, tropical pacific coastline, high active volcanoes and the Galapagos Islands. The Rough Guide provided us with essential information on how to travel and tips on safety and health proved very helpful. Thanks also to the authors for including information on the damage being done to Ecuador's pristine rainforest and indigenous communities by a few oil companies. This is something that senstive tourists need to be aware of - the rare and fascinating tribal communities, the jungle wildlife and natural beauty we travelled to see are in real danger because of the actions of a few short term organisations who are right now planning a big push into the Oriente region. Overall this is a really good, clear guide book with excellent recommendations for where to stay, what to do and even good tips on where to eat, drink and party. Don't go up the jungle without it! Thanks from Carmel McConnell and Catherine Purkiss Posted on December 7, 2010 Dee Arterberry says... There is tons of information in this book, especially on hotels and restaurants.Some of it was hard to find, like for example part of the hotels were marked on the map but then listed separately under the theme of 'haciendas'.It was also hard to decide how to plan our trip and what is essential to see and what not.The routes were not clear, so we had to research more in order to figure out the best way to get somewhere.There were no phone # listed for information on bus station.First I stayed in a hostel that was described as a good location, nice rooms.The place had a serious construction going on, and was also in a not so safe part of town.I had to take taxi to go either in the old town or in the new town.There was no mention of public transportation for Quito.I would suggest that next time the author is more selective about what hotels they are promoting (few of them were out of business as well), and maybe offer a bit more concise but specific feedback on what is worthwhile seeing and what not. Posted on December 7, 2010 Elwood Delaporte says... If you want lots of details on life and attractions in Guayaquil and Quito, this is your book. Cursory treatment of anything outside these two largest metropolitan areas Not quite what I was looking for. Crowder does however have many interesting audio interviews with authors and experts that are available online. Search latin america traveler dot com. Posted on December 11, 2010 Kareem Stonecypher says... This book gave me the answers I was looking for and introduced some items I hadn't even thought about.Nicely organized, fairly concise, informative but certainly not dry, it provides an excellent overview of what to expect when taking a trip to Ecuador. Posted on December 11, 2010 Breann Pillai says... I ordered this guide and the Lonely Planet Guide.I had previously toured Costa Rica using the Lonely Planet Guide and it worked out very well.This time I wanted to see if there was any additional information in the Rough Guide that would be helpfull.I have not yet gone to Eucador so I can not comment on the accuracy, but the detail in the Lonely Planet guide is much greater than that of the Lonely Planet Guide. Besides that it is much more compact. 440 pages vs 590.Basically Lonely Planet is more concise and more informative.If you are going to Ecuador and have room for one book, I recommend Lonely Planet rather than Rough Guide. Posted on December 12, 2010 Noel Skeans says... As all Culture Shock books, this too is a very good one in unerstanding the soul of a country. Posted on December 13, 2010 Leave a Comment |
