1.	Ecuador Handbook. Footprint Travel Guides. 448 pages. Size 4¾”x8¼”. Includes color photos and 190 maps. The phrase 'small is beautiful' could have been coined specifically with Ecuador in mind. By South American standards it is tiny (only half the size of France) and dwarfed by its neighbors Colombia and Peru. But it is this relative compactness which is one of its main tourist attractions. If you've only got a few weeks in which to explore a place, you really don't want to spend half your time in an aircraft or on a bus. Here, you can watch dawn break over the jungle canopy, have lunch high in the Andean mountains, then watch the sun slip into the Pacific Ocean, all in the same day. Special features include: Colour section on Galápagos wildlife. Adventure tourism - climbing, trekking, rafting, kayaking. Special feature on birdwatching. Totally packed with up-to-date information including highlights of virtually every town and site. Also includes money-saving tips, advice on staying healthy, and anecdotes on local history, culture, customs, and etiquette. *Indispensable!*	FOOT	$24.95

Ecuador Handbook 2nd edition - Julian Smith $17.95 The Ecuador Handbook was written with a special focus on history, nature, and outdoor recreation. The world-famous Galápagos Islands—where tortoises the size of sofas, doe-eyed sea lions, and birds with bright blue feet roam free and fearless in the middle of the Pacific—are given the full treatment, including tour operators, in-depth natural history for the layperson, human history (the work, life, and legacy of Charles Darwin), and tips on visiting. Ecuador's unique strength is that everything special in South America is found within one of the continent's smallest countries, all within a day's travel (even by bus). On one hand travelers can experience untouched tracts of Amazon rainforest dotted with indigenous tribes and luxury eco-lodges, and on the other an entire Pacific coastline with hidden beaches and sparkling resort cities. Down the middle of the country runs the knobby backbone of the Andes, where descendents of the Inca weave textiles and trade in windswept markets like their ancestors have for centuries. With treasures of colonial art and architecture and 20,000-foot snow-capped volcanoes that can be climbed overnight for next to nothing, Ecuador offers enough to keep the most jaded traveler busy and fascinated for years. And an added bonus—it's one of the least expensive countries for travelers in South America. Descriptions of outdoor adventures, including backpacking, kayaking, and mountain-climbing, and details on navigating the infamous Nariz del Diablo on the roof of a train Discerning hotel and restaurant reviews for every budget, from luxury rainforest lodges to getting by on US$10 a day Extensive coverage of the world-famous Galápagos Islands, including hints on finding the right tour and where to swim with sea lions 44 detailed maps covering major cities, national parks, the Galápagos, and more

On the mainland, it tours the colonial capital of Quito, explores the highland villages along the "Avenue of the Volcanoes" and takes travelers to the Otavalo Market, a renowned Indian market that has served as the economic and social center of the northern highlands for over 4000 years. The New Key to Ecuador and the Galápagos keeps the outdoor enthusiast on the path to adventure by listing once-in-a-lifetime diving and snorkeling opportunities such as Devil's Hole, an underwater volcanic cone home to huge schools of fish, sea turtles and sleeping sharks. It includes unequaled coverage of the world's largest rainforest, showing readers where to journey down an Amazonian river on a floating riverboat hotel or watch Howler Monkeys from an isolated jungle lodge. Keeping the environment first and foremost, the guide stresses the importance of enjoying the natural beauty of Ecuador and the Galápagos islands without disturbing the fragile ecosystems. The authors have added a "Green-Rating Survey" that acknowledges lodgings making significant efforts toward sustainable tourism. Pulling no punches, The New Key to Ecuador and the Galápagos explains existing problems and possible solutions for the insured continuation of a healthy jungle habitat.

Rob Rachowiecki, Mark Thurber and Betsy Wagenhauser Climbing and Hiking in Ecuador - 4th edition 288 pages / 46 maps $19.95 Ecuador's volcanoes are currently going through a turbulent phase, bringing added drama to a visit to this small country which is already a climber's dream in its variety of mountains and volcanoes. For the experienced climber, the excitement of high-altitude ascents beckons, as well as some excellent new routes. Hikers are equally well provided for, with trails varying from high treks through snow to rainforest excursions, while for the less ambitious, there are treks varying from several days along an old Inca Trail to some splendid half-day hikes through national parks. Climbers and hikers are further aided by the 46 maps and mountain profiles showing climbing routes. About Ecuador Ecuador may be small, but its diversity of landscape offers an extraordinary range of challenges to climbers and walkers alike. Snow-capped volcanoes rise up from open páramo and dense rainforest leads to an unspoiled coastline. And all this is within easy reach of the capital city, Quito. About the author Rob Rachowiecki lives in Tucson, Arizona, where he makes his living as a writer and tour guide leader for South America. Mark Thurber is an American geologist working in Ecuador as a tour leader and environmental consultant. Betsy Wagenhauser is an experienced climber. She set up and ran for several years the South American Explorers Club in Quito. Author's comment Ecuador offers an incredible diversity of scenery, wildlife and people. The mountaineer and adventurous traveller have a choice of the ice-clad Andes, tropical rainforest, mountain trails leading to Inca ruins and quiet beaches; all these attractions lie within a day's journey of Quito, the capital city. This accessibility makes Ecuador an attractive tour destination for climbers and hikers of all abilities, and avoids the long approaches and expedition planning often necessary in other high mountain ranges… Superb mountain scenery is only one of Ecuador's attractions. It has some of the best beaches in South America, colourful indigenous markets and plenty of wildlife, especially birds. Come and see for yourself.
