Kurzbeschreibung
One moment you're sitting atop a snow-capped mountain, the next you're photographing breaching humpback whales or swimming with penguins. What one of South America's smallest countries lacks in size, it certainly makes up for in variety. Travellers to Ecuador can canoe through the Amazonian rainforest, cycle down volcanoes, absorb themselves in the hustle and bustle of its capital, Quito, or visit the otherworldly Galapagos Islands. This seventh edition of Footprint's highly acclaimed guide offers vital advice on how to navigate your way round this small but perfectly formed country as well as providing all the necessary information where to eat, sleep, drink and party. Special features include: * In-depth coverage and descriptions of the best adventure activities this tiny country has to offer, from treks, whitewater rafting, mountain biking, climbing and trekking * Extensive listings for the best jungle tours and how to get the most from your Galapagos Islands cruise * The low-down for each of the fabulous fiestas on offer * Robert & Daisy have been travelling the region for years and know it extensively * Footprint guides are written and designed for experienced, independent travellers looking to get off the beaten track * Written by a small team of experts with first-hand local knowledge creating books rich in places and attractions simply not covered in other guidebooks * Among the most comprehensive and detailed travel guides available, with more places to visit and things to do * Competitive prices and depth of coverage ensure Footprint offer the best value for money * Wide range of activities covered from jungle trekking to whitewater rafting, surfing to birdwatching * Unparalleled cultural and historical context encouraging travel that is sensitive towards local communities.

Format:Taschenbuch
Der Footprint war im Jahr 2006 der aktuellste Reiseführer für Ecuador. Damals war das der ausschlaggebende Grund für mich mir diesen zuzulegen.
Insgesamt hat er mich während unserer Trekking-Tour wirklich überzeugt. Bis auf ein paar Kleinigkeiten waren die Informationen gut gewählt und aktuell.
Auch der Schreibstil hat mir sehr gut gefallen, lässt er einen doch manchmal schmunzeln und nimmt sich selbst nicht zu ernst.
Meiner Meinung nach ist er die einzig vernünftige Alternative zum Lonely Planet. Dieses Buch war im direkten Vergleich sogar etwas stärker (Schreibstil und Aktualität, wobei sich das zweite schnell ändern kann ;))
Viel Spaß in Ecuador, es lohnt sich!!

Super inclusive, for all budgets
15. Juli 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Footprint guides are, bless them, practicaly encyclopedic. Some people find the wealth of detail overwhelming, but the advantage is that one can pinch pennies on one part of the trip and splurge on a worthwhile luxury at another time, without having to consult different guides. Also, they include more places, letting you know whether there's something of interest in a place (or not), rather than leaving a place out and leaving you to wonder. They include tour organizer information too, should you want to leave some or all of your planning to someone else.
Granted, there is some shortand involved to get all that information in. The print can be small, the pages, thin. But, for example, if I see something marked as "recommended" in Footprint, I consider it a solid gold endorsement, because it's not given out often and reflects the comments of thousands of readers.
"Footprint Ecuador" shares these qualities. Ecuador is a tiny country just bursting with wildlife, architecture, and people worth spending time with, and Footprint's details on things like how long a bus trip will take and how much it will cost allow one to plan confidently how to spend one's limited time there. And once in a while there is a wry, dry comment that will make you laugh.
I visited a jungle lodge 3 1/2 hours by canoe from the nearest town, hiked on a volcano, visited native markets, lazed on a beach, explored colonial cities, saw blue footed boobies (without going to Galapagos, which was outside my budget), and talked, talked, talked with Ecuadorans.
This book helped me everywhere and has given me a hundred reasons to want to go back and explore some more.

Perfect for our 7 weeks in Ecuador
3. August 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I had a difficult time deciding between Footprint's guidebook and Lonely Planet's because we've used both brands in the past. Ultimately, I chose Footprint for our 7-week Ecuador trip becasue it was published more recently; I am completely satisfied. This guidebook was accurate in its descriptions and prices. EVERY place we visited lived up to its reputation from the book. Although most tourists usually only visit Quito, Otavalo, and the Galapagos, the book had plenty of detailed information on many other magical places across Ecuador. The only changes we noted were that train service to Cotopaxi was discontinued and the Devil's Nose train ride no longer allowed riders on top. With assistance from Footprint, we were enchanted by Ecuador and will certainly bring Footprint the next place we explore.

Really Disappointing
10. August 2005
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Having used a couple of Footprint Guides in Southeast Asia, I came to think of them as the best of all guidebooks. So I was really excited to see a new edition of this book coming out a month before I'm due to leave for Ecuador - both the Lonely Planet and Rough Guide were last published a couple of years ago, making the information several years out of date.
The book is a real disappointment for the independent traveler. Descriptions of sights are terse, more on the level of Lonely Planet than Rough Guide's sometimes overly detailed enthusiasms. That would be excusable if the coverage of basic travel information were complete, but it's not. Worst of all, there's a single bus chart at the front of the book, with prices and travel times but not frequencies. Individual cities sometimes have bus schedules, sometimes not, and some bus connections that are in RG and LP simply aren't listed. Does the bus to where I need to go run once a day, once an hour, every 10 minutes, or never? Tell me, dammit...I'm sorry, that's a lot more important information than where to get a great French meal in Quito. (The authors basically say, "There are a lot of excellent luxury restaurants in Quito, so we'll tell you where to find expensive fondue, but we can't be bothered listing inexpensive places." Jeez...)
Astonishingly, there's not even a schedule of when and how often buses leave Quito for other destinations. That's understandable in a Fodor's, but when the much shorter Ecuador chapter in the South American Handbook is of more concrete help in planning a trip than the new Ecuador Footprint, something's wrong.
Used to be that Footprints had compact and reliable hotel, restaurant, and transport information. In this one, the list of Quito restaurants and nightclubs is nearly as long as the entire section on sightseeing. It's not a total disaster, but it's really a letdown. I'll be taking the Rough Guide, too, and if this weren't a lot more current than RG, I'd return it.
