The ECOTOURIST'S GUIDE TO THE ECUADORIAN AMAZON provides an
authoritative, comprehensive, up-to-date inventory of ecotourism resources
and related infrastructure and services for the most important and most
accessible ecotourism region of Amazonia. The guide was compiled by a 14
member University of Ottawa (Canada) research team directed by Geography
Professor Rolf Wesche, who has conducted research and led study tours in
Amazonia since 1965.
From the Eastern slopes of the Andes to the Peruvian Boundary, the
Guide describes 35 scenic hiking trails (including ascents of the Sumaco
and Reventador volcanoes) and river/lagoon routes, 18 caves, 36
petroglyphs, 24 ecolodges, 13 indigenous (i.e. Amazon Indian) operated
tourism enterprises, and guiding companies involving 83 guides (20 of
which are indigenous). Emphasis is placed on *indigenous controlled
ecotourism*, which this guide seeks to support. All public transportation
facilities, hotels and restaurants of the region are described.
The Guide features 25 maps, 16 of which are fold-out topographical
maps at the 50 000 or 25 000 scale depicting hiking trails, scenic river
routes and lagoons, other tourist attractions and infrastructure. It is
further illustrated with 28 color photos and 11 major tables and contains
an annoted bibliography of 28 items.
