Insight Guides Ecuador & Galapagos (Travel Guide with Free eBook)

Insight Guide Ecuador & Galápagos is a comprehensive full-colour guide to the culture, history and wildlife of this diverse and fascinating country. The book is illustrated throughout with hundreds of beautiful, specially commissioned colour photographs.

With a longer and more in-depth history and culture section than its competitors, this travel guide provides an essential introduction to Ecuador's ancient civilizations, colonial history and contemporary politics and environmental issues. The informative text, written by regional experts, is a pleasure to read and accompanied by stunning photography. The lavish Photo Features offer a unique insight into the traditional textiles, colonial architecture, Galápagos birdlife and vintage railways.

All major sights are cross-referenced with the maps, and the travel tips section provides a wealth of practical information on how to plan your trip.
