  • Significant updates to all the major islands and visitor sites; the number of sites has nearly doubled in recent years
  • Newly updated and expanded maps
  • New photography tips ifor digital equipment and process
  • New detailed chapter on visiting Quito and mainland Ecuador, featuring primary ecological and historical areas in the Andean highlands, rainforests, and coastal areas
