a glossy no-starter
A glossy book, tourist-type pictures, little practical information, and very limited sicussion of the Galapagos.

Great Beginning for a South American Adventure
The book gave me a very good background on the history of the country, the terrain, the weather, and most of all the people. Before my trip to Ecuador, (my first time to South America) I read the Insight Guide to Ecuador. The book did not overload you with facts and statistics, but made for a very nice, enjoyable read. The photographs in the book were spectacular.

If You`re Going to Ecuador...
I found this book very helpful in learning more about the country. This book was very informative not only on the culture itself, but on the history behind the country and the people. Although it isn`t very informative as the ýFodor`sý travel books or other travel guides, it gives a great overview of the entire country. My only complaint is some of the wording in the book--it tended to be sarcastic at times.
