DVD Reviews of Globe Trekker: Ecuador & the Galapagos Islands
DVD Review: Terrible..it socks!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm really sorry but this dvd is terrible, my mother bought it here on amazon for me as a present. If you are interested in knowing more about Ecuador then don't buy it. We made that mistake, We got the dvd and it was just horrible. It lasts 1 hour but the guide lady insisted on visiting just the most terrible places in Ecuador and she didn't show the nature's beauty and the kindness of the people.
Also the dvd was manufactured in 2004 the dvd is clearly much older than that. Just check the currency that this lady used (sucres) that doesn't exist anymore in Ecuador since its currency changed to dollars in 2000, which actually helps the tourist a lot since they don't need to buy other currency, it's enough to take dollars with you to go there.
She didn't cover the three most important cities in the country either. She started her trip in Guayaquil but she didn't show the city (she showed it just for 1 minute) not to even mention that Guayaquil is the largest port in Ecuador, all the international trading, imports and exports come and go from there, having about 4 million people mixed with a large Asian, Lebanese and Arabic background. Quito (the capital city) was focused like an indinegous, strange jungle with some small modern sights which is of course not true, the biggest European and caucasian societies in Ecuador live in Quito. And finally she never showed Cuenca, the third most important city, I mean she didn't even mention it...
Ecuador is a paradise on Earth, I now that because I lived there, this country has economic and social problems but that is not an impediment to visit it. It is not as safe as US or other first world countries but its weather, millennial culture, landscape and people made Ecuador a wonderful place to visit and this dvd doesn't show that at all, it just focused on the most terrible customs, food, and problems of the country. Very outdated
