Ecuadorians are one of the friendliest people that I ever met. Love this country! Besos from Italy

I lived in Quito Ecuador for half a year...truly the happiest time of my life. I have never met more fantastic and kind people.
Just a couple things...while only about 8% of Ecuadorians identify as indigenous, the actual percentage which would be considered "ethnically indigenous" is closer to 20%...but due to stigma or people not feeling like they live in the traditional style, a lot of indigenous people identify as Meztiso.
Also, people from Otavalo are called Otavaleños, not Otavalos. :P

I lived in Ecuador for a year so I've been waiting for this one. Was kind of hoping you'd talk about the crazy water-throwing fest that is Carnival (future tourists now can't say I didn't warn you) but other than that you covered pretty much all the salient points. Thanks for making the episode!!

Thank you for doing a Geography Now on our beautiful country, Ecuador! We're the friendly weirdos of Latin America. We get along with the socialist countries, but we're also cool with the U.S. friendly ones as well. We used to not get along with with Peru but we're cool now. We have indigenous, but also Caribbean influences as well. We're literally smack in the middle of everyone!

Not all Ecuadorians eat Cuy, it is mostly in the Sierra region, trust me. lol

[Antonio-xqhg]

that "they become happy listening to sad music" quote is super accurate. Ecuadorians have this love for pasillos, a very slow, sad type of music, usually about broken hearts, and often accompanied by some very strong liquor. but they really enjoy it and sing very loudly while playing cards

The whole 3 course meal for $3 in Ecuador is true, that's why we were confused when we moved to the US bc here one plate alone is at least double that, if not more

In Ecuador, you don't feed the squirrels at the park, you feed squirrels TO what's REALLY at the park....

#Ecuador is UP! Enjoy the episode Geograpeeps!

Quick story about my trip to Ecuador back in 2000. I happen to visit in the same week that the Sucre was eliminated and the U.S. Dollar was instituted as the national currency. Anyway, we went to visit the Cotopaxi Volcano . We drove in an Suv to the end of the road which was at 16, 000 feet altitude . Our plan was to hike to the snow base, then return to the truck to drive back down . But I experienced EXTREME altitude poisining. It felt like I was intoxicated with an enormous headache, nausea I almost passed out. I had to get driven back Down the mountain, and back to Quito where I spent the next few hours in a clinic, and then was bed ridden for 3 days where I couldn't eat, and I slept around 13 hours a day. I learned that day, that the mountain always wins if you don't respect her . The rest of my trip to Ecuador was excellent. Great food, great people, and enchanting places.

Ecuador seems awesome! I had a classmate from Ecuador up until recently, when he changed to another school. His name was Eric and he often hung out with his friend Joaquin, who is from Chile. Oddly enough, I seldom or maybe even never heard them speak Spanish to each other.

[supersamurai]

And also Ecuador is also good friends with chile
