Frommer's Ecuador & the Galapagos Islands (Frommer's Complete Guides)

By Eliot Greenspan

Book Overview

Researched by a veteran travel writer who lives in Latin America, Frommer's Ecuador & the Galapagos Islands is the only truly up-to-date guide that gives you such in-depth coverage of this fast-changing country, with recommended accommodations in every price catagory. You'll visit rugged wilderness preserves, sleepy beach towns, the bustling, colonial captital, and, of course, the spectacular Galapagos Islands. There are adventures here to suit all ages and abilities: mountain biking in Banos, swimming with sea lions in the Galapagos, whitewater rafting on the Rio Blanco, and summiting Cotopaxi, the highest active volcano in the world. With Frommer's in hand, you'll experience the wonder of Ecuador's amazing biodiversity, as we point out the best places to see hundreds of unique, colorful species of animals and plants. You'll travel like a pro with our handy Spanish-language glossary and detailed regional and town maps. And our Suggested Itineraries chapter will help you plan your trip and organize your time.

Very good

This book is very good at providing the information to help with a trip to Ecuador. The reviews for the hotels and restaurants that we used were right on. Would have liked a little more detail on directions of getting to places.

excellent travel book

This book is everything a travel book should be. Logical reading, with good explanations of what to expect. I especially like the suggested itineraries section. If you want your travel to be easy and fun, this book will get you started. We plan to carry it with us as we travel.
