I have to say, it\u2019s admirable to see an entire population rise up and confront corruption and political measures they don\u2019t agree with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Si<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">nce 1997, three presidents have been expelled from their positions, including Abdal\u00e1 Bucaram, Jamil Mahuad and Lucio Guit\u00e9rrez.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Quito main roads = important dates<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re having trouble remembering some of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wanderbusecuador.com\/quito\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Quito\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> streets, memorizing a bit of history might help. The three main avenues running between the South and North of the city are useful to learn, especially since they also run parallel to each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>12 de Octubre<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (October 12) runs from the Old Town to Gonz\u00e1lez Su\u00e1rez (south \u21c4 north ) and this is the date that Crist\u00f3bal Col\u00f3n arrived in the Americas. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>10 de agosto<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (August 10), which also runs south \u21c4 north, follows the main Troley route, and signifies Ecuador\u2019s first attempt of Independence.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>6 de diciembre<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (December 6), which runs parallel to the previous two streets and is the main Ecov\u00eda route, is the date Quito was officially founded by the Spaniards.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Nature has constitutional rights in Ecuador<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2008, the Ecuadorian government drafted a constitution that recognizes nature\u2019s rights, making Ecuador the first country ever to do so. What does this mean? Instead of treating nature as property, it\u2019s recognized for its \u201cright to exist, persist, maintain and regenerate its vital cycles.\u201d Sounds nice but&#8230;what does that look like in practice (Yes, I\u2019m a cynic.)?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fun facts about Ecuador<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I\u2019m not sure if everyone would consider the following to be \u201cfun\u201d, but here are a few more Ecuador facts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Middle of the World isn\u2019t precisely in the middle.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(This is actually my favorite Ecuador fact.)<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019ve probably heard about an important monument in the north of Quito called <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">la <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wanderbusecuador.com\/the-middle-of-the-world\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mitad del Mundo<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (Middle of the World)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. It\u2019s a popular day trip for visitors that want to balance an egg on latitude 0\u00b0 and watch as a toilet is flushed to see in which direction the water drains. Super fascinating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alas, it\u2019s all a hoax&#8230;kind of. This location, also the site of a beautiful (and probably pricey) marble monument was <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">thought<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to be on the equator until more recent calculations established that the equator is actually found about 240 meters north. Whoops, hehe!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Ecuador has two cloud forests\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most people think the area just west of Quito that drops down toward the coast is the country\u2019s only cloud forest region. In this area, you\u2019ll find <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wanderbusecuador.com\/mindo-cloud-forest\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mindo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a popular day trip destination from Quito, as well as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mashpilodge.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mashpi<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, unbeknownst to many visitors, cloud forests, technically called pre-montane\/subtropical rainforests, are found between 900 meters and 2,500 meters above sea level. In Ecuador, there are two regions of the country that fit this description.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ecuador\u2019s other cloud forest, located east of the Andes mountain range, drops down into the Amazon rainforest. Also fascinating: due to the geographic isolation caused by the gradual rise of the Andes, there\u2019s a significant divergence in flora and fauna between this region and Ecuador\u2019s other cloud forest, on the east of the Andes. If you want to see the cloud forest along the Eastern slope of the Andes, head to Cosanga, on the way to Tena.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Dawn and dusk at 6 o\u2019clock<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Due to its location on the equator, Ecuador\u2019s sun rises and sets at 6 o\u2019clock every day, throughout the year. You\u2019ll never be disappointed, that is, unless you like summer evenings that last till 11 pm. Those don\u2019t exist in Ecuador. EVER.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tallest mountain on Earth?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019ve probably never thought about this but, because the Earth swells at the equator, the tallest mountain along the equator, which happens to be Ecuador\u2019s Mt. Chimborazo, is 1.5 miles higher than Mount Everest. It reaches 5,263 meters (20,548 feet).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20935 size-full\" title=\"Chimborazo Ecuador\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderbusecuador.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ar-pn-andes13-riobamba-estrella-del-chimborazo-foto0004-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Chimborazo Ecuador\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1600\" \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Interesting facts about our culture and people<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We can\u2019t write a blog about Ecuador facts without a culture and people category!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Ethnic and linguistic diversity\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ecuador is a diverse country with numerous ethnicities and languages. Though<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> mestizos <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0comprise the majority of Ecuadorians, you\u2019ll also find a large population of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">montubios <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(aboriginal mestizo group) from the Ecuadorian coast. Following these two groups is the afro-Ecuadorian population and indigenous groups, each comprising 7% of the entire population. Finally, there are also white Ecuadorians who are ancestors of Spanish colonizers and comprise 6% of the total population.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Though Spanish is the most widely spoken language in Ecuador, you\u2019ll find many populations (mainly indigenous) speaking Quechua and Shuar. Depending on the region you\u2019re looking at (Andes versus Amazon), you\u2019ll hear different dialects of these languages. Other languages in the country include: Cof\u00e1n, Siona, Secoya, Waorani, Achuar-Shiwiar, and Tsafiqui. Nearly 2.5 million people in Ecuador speak these languages.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Ecuadorian Panama Hats<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here\u2019s another Ecuador fact that cracks me up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite its name, the Panama Hat actually comes from Ecuador. It was only attributed to the Central American country because a number of Ecuadorian hat makers migrated to Panama, where they could sell their hats at greater volume.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other names for this hat are the toquilla straw hats or Montecristi hats. Montecrisiti happens to be a town on the Ecuadorian coast and home of the first \u201cPanama\u201d Hat makers. To this day, families from this town and general area hand make high-quality hats from toquilla straw, carrying the tradition down from generation to generation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Afro-ecuadorian community origins<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re fortunate enough to travel to Ecuador\u2019s northwestern coastal region, you\u2019ll notice that there is a majority population of afro-Ecuadorians. This population can be directly traced to African slaves that were brought to these shores by Spanish colonists in the early 16th century.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Apparently, a slave boat headed to Peru was stranded off the Ecuadorian coast. The slaves managed to escape and settled in the area, later moving to other parts of the country. Today, the largest afro-Ecuadorian populations can be found in Esmeraldas, Valle de Chota and the largest cities: Quito and Guayaquil.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20937 size-full\" title=\"Panam\u00e1 hats Ecuador\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderbusecuador.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ar-pc-costa02-sombreros-060-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Panam\u00e1 hats\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2400\" \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wanderbus Ecuador<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you liked these Ecuador facts, expect to hear more while riding the Wanderbus with one of our numerous <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wanderbusecuador.com\/passes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">passes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
