Ecuador and Galapagos Handbook

This handbook offers a practical and informative guide covering the whole of Ecuador both on and off the "banana pancake trail" including Quito, the jungle, the Pacific coast, the national parks and the volcanoes. In addition, it also includes up-to-date information on the Galapagos and associated conservation issues. The handbook features accommodation for all budgets, where to eat, drink and chill out, adventure travel - climbing, trekking, river rafting and kayaking, details on the developing "ecotourism"/low-impact tourism travel scene, and an eight-page colour section on Galapagos wildlife. The guide also includes how to plan a trip to Ecuador with the highlights illustrated in colour, plus 12 pages of maps.
