5A great view of Ecuador  May 09, 2009 By David R. Walstrom
I have made many trips to Ecuador and have consulted many travel books on that country. This particular book is the best one I've read - the information is presented in a comprehensible manner and is interesting.

Each section provides you with specific tips that allow you to experience the local culture, thus avoidig any pitfalls that the inexperienced traveler could encounter. The book highlights the country's wide range of cultural and geographical diversity.

5Informative Guide  Mar 08, 2010 By Amber Davis "Macha Catracha"
This is another well written guide from the Moon Travel Series. (I "graduated" from Lonely Planet about seven years ago and have no plans to return.)

My husband and I traveled through the central Sierra and jungle area for a few weeks in early 2010. We used this guide and were very happy with the decisions that we made based on the information provided. No complaints, just another set of happy travelers. Thank you, Moon Ecuador!

5Moon Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands...  Oct 08, 2009 By Eileen A. Cahill "Pelagrina."
This book is a mine of interesting and very useful information.I particularly like the detailed descriptions and recommendation of places to see and places to stay.
It is written in a very easy to read style.My copy is already dog-eared.
I highly recommend it to everyone interested in visiting Ecuador.

5Interesting, Contemporary, Useful  Nov 30, 2009 By C. W. Choc
There are lots of guidebooks ... picking one with current information is a first priority. Beyond that, finding one that digs deeper into the kind of questions a typical visitor has turns out to be useful as well. This book does that well. I was also happy with the Internet references scattered throughout so I could find other information too.

4Great guide to Ecuador, but my copy has 32 pages missing  Sep 19, 2010 By Susan Hoyt
I am 3 weeks away from my first trip to Ecuador, and South America, and have throughly enjoyed this guide book. All of the Moon guides I have read are good. Unfortunately my copy ordered on June 2, 2010, has pages 85-116 replaced with a repeat of pages 53-84 so this is just a warning to check your copy when you get it. It was beyond the return date before I noticed it and I'm still trying to find out how to get a replacement.

Hopefully this is just a fluke and other copies are fine.
