Книга “Ecuador - Culture Smart!” - это незаменимый гид по обычаям и культуре Эквадора, написанный автором Russel Maddicks. Она представляет собой сжатый между Колумбией на севере и Перу на юге, Эквадор назван в честь своего расположения на экваторе и имеет такой разнообразный ландшафт, что его описывали как микрокосм каждого микроклимата, найденного в Южной Америке. Это разнообразие делает его магнитом для туристов, горных туристов, волонтеров и все большего числа американских пенсионеров, которые ищут теплое, культурно интересное, экономически выгодное и безопасное место, чтобы проводить большую часть своего времени. Многоэтническое население Эквадора отражает уникальное сочетание культур, от традиционно одетых горных народов, чьи предки населяли свои высокогорные деревни до прихода инков, до афро-эквадорцев из Эсмеральды и долины Чота и племенных народов амазонского тропического леса. Эквадорцы гордятся собой, дружелюбны, гостеприимны и трудолюбивы, но чтобы узнать
Flat on the ground between northern Colombia and southern Peru, this land mass has been named for the fact that the Equator of South America passes through it. Its very location has made this country such a complex melting pot, where diverse climates can be found within well within a week’s trip. Tourists, hiking enthusiasts, volunteer staff and an increasing number of US seniors are attracted to Ecuador, because of what it has to offer; warm temperatures, cultural affordances, economic prosperity, and a sense of safety. One of the most important factors that makes Ecuador stand out is its many ethnicities that often reflect complex histories and traditions. Native Americans deeply embedded in mountain villages no doubt predate the Inca conquest, Africans arrived to settle in Esmeraldas, and indigenous people holed up in valleys, all range from rich histories to fascinating present. While the culture push might be for unfamiliar territory, these unique peoples make up the core foundation of Ecuador. To truly take in these experiences, new arrivals should not just consider where to visit and what sight to see. A Cultural Smart Ecuador can help them to engage with the people and learn about their history or enjoy their culinary creations. Within this book, a wide array of sections specially prepare readers who want to take full advantage of the regional eateries, contest winners overwhelmed by anticipation in the business world, or people planning to make and maintain bonds with Ecuadorians. The native residents are incredibly diverse and variable. They make this amazing country.

Описание книги от Russel Maddicks
Squeezed between Colombia in the north and Peru in the south, Ecuador is named for its location on the Equator and has a landscape so varied that it has been described as a microcosm of every microclimate found in South America. This diversity makes it a magnet for tourists, mountain trekkers, volunteers, and increasing numbers of US retirees looking for a warm, culturally interesting, economical, and safe place to spend much of their time. Ecuador's multiethnic population reflects a unique blend of cultures, from traditionally dressed mountain peoples, whose ancestors inhabited their highland villages before the arrival of the Incas, to the Afro-Ecuadorians of Esmeraldas and the Chota Valley and the tribal peoples of the Amazonian rainforest. The Ecuadorians are proud, friendly, hospitable, and hardworking, but to know them well, the foreign visitor needs to understand the complex historical divisions between the highlands and the coast, and the rigid class and racial hierarchy that has shaped the country's history. Culture Smart! Ecuador takes you beyond the usual descriptions of where to go and what to see and gives you an insider's view of the people, their history, their food, and their culture. Special sections are designed to help food lovers get the most out of the menu, assist business travelers to gain an edge on the competition, and show expats, volunteers, and visitors how to meet and get on well with the Ecuadorians, who are as diverse and varied as the country's amazing geography.
