Ecuadorians are one of the friendliest people that I ever met. Love this country! Besos from Italy

You forgot to mention we created the Panama hat

Love to Ecuador from Colombia 🇨🇴❤️🇪🇨

7:29 that’s literally my dad screaming in the shades 😂😂😂😂😂

Every time I see bannana, they're from Ecuador.

I lived in Quito Ecuador for half a year...truly the happiest time of my life. I have never met more fantastic and kind people. Just a couple things...while only about 8% of Ecuadorians identify as indigenous, the actual percentage which would be considered "ethnically indigenous" is closer to 20%...but due to stigma or people not feeling like they live in the traditional style, a lot of indigenous people identify as Meztiso. Also, people from Otavalo are called Otavaleños, not Otavalos. :P

Not all Ecuadorians eat Cuy, it is mostly in the Sierra region, trust me. lol

I lived in Ecuador for a year so I've been waiting for this one. Was kind of hoping you'd talk about the crazy water-throwing fest that is Carnival (future tourists now can't say I didn't warn you) but other than that you covered pretty much all the salient points. Thanks for making the episode!!

In Ecuador, you don't feed the squirrels at the park, you feed squirrels TO what's REALLY at the park.... #Ecuador is UP! Enjoy the episode Geograpeeps!

that "they become happy listening to sad music" quote is super accurate. Ecuadorians have this love for pasillos, a very slow, sad type of music, usually about broken hearts, and often accompanied by some very strong liquor. but they really enjoy it and sing very loudly while playing cards

Hola a Ecuador de Azerbaiyán. ¡Amo Ecuador! Deben estar orgullosos de su país. Porque el nombre de la línea del ecuador por el nombre de su país. ¡Amores de Azerbaiyán!🇦🇿❤🇪🇨

And also Ecuador is also good friends with chile

My fourth grade Spanish teacher is from Ecuador!

Wait, PENGUINS?! In Ecuador???

Quick story about my trip to Ecuador back in 2000. I happen to visit in the same week that the Sucre was eliminated and the U.S. Dollar was instituted as the national currency. Anyway , we went to visit the Cotopaxi Volcano . We drove in an Suv to the end of the road which was at 16,000 feet altitude . Our plan was to hike to the snow base , then return to the truck to drive back down . But I experienced EXTREME altitude poisining. It felt like I was intoxicated with an enormous headache , nausea I almost passed out. I had to get driven back Down the mountain , and back to Quito where I spent the next few hours in a clinic , and then was bed ridden for 3 days where I couldn't eat , and I slept around 13 hours a day. I learned that day , that the mountain always wins if you don't respect her . The rest of my trip to Ecuador was excellent. Great food , great people , and enchanting places.

The whole 3 course meal for $3 in Ecuador is true, that's why we were confused when we moved to the US bc here one plate alone is at least double that, if not more

The country where 98% of the population lives in 3% of the land is coming!

Thank you for doing a Geography Now on our beautiful country, Ecuador! We're the friendly weirdos of Latin America. We get along with the socialist countries, but we're also cool with the U.S. friendly ones as well. We used to not get along with with Peru but we're cool now. We have indigenous, but also Caribbean influences as well. We're literally smack in the middle of everyone!

Ecuador is such a beautiful place. I'm from Colombia and I love Ecuador and its people. I strongly recommend to visit the country. :)

Grande Ecuador, país hermano, los queremos mucho en Chile.

Very beautiful country ,Ecuador ,greetings from singapore

Yaaayyyyy!!!.. Ecuador video came out just in time... August 10th!, Our National Day... Best timing ever Barby!!! Greetings from "El Pupo del Mundo".

Ecuador seems awesome! I had a classmate from Ecuador up until recently, when he changed to another school. His name was Eric and he often hung out with his friend Joaquin, who is from Chile. Oddly enough, I seldom or maybe even never heard them speak Spanish to each other.

Stay Strong Ecuador against Corona from Canada 🇨🇦🇪🇨

they are the real banana republic.

Wow, I am from Costa Rica, and now with your video, you have made me wish to travel to Ecuador, this is in my travel destination list, loved the video.

soy colombiano y me agradan mucho los ecuatorianos... les deseo lo mejor XD

My love for the country is so profound that I left the USA to live in Ecuador!

I don't know if I should trust Ms. Information

I really like her accent like oh my😂😂

Love Ecuadorians, from Guinea Bissau

The Prussian Geographer and Naturalist Alexander Von Humboldt once said “Ecuadorians are rare and unique beings: they sleep peacefully amid crunchy volcanoes, live poor in the midst of incomparable wealth and rejoice in sad music” (classic Ecuadorian music such as “pasillo”, “san juanito”, “yaravi” or “albazo”are really sad) and as an Ecuadorian I can say it’s true

Damn. I'm German/Ecuadorian and that video is accurate af

I love the fact of this video been released on an Ecuadorian national holiday: El Primer Grito de la Independecia( One of the first attempts of independence in the region). Great video Barby!

hi Ecuador love you from India

Wow Ecuador...Wonderful Nature... From 🇵🇭 The Philippines

all the iguanas I've ever met were jerks. I'd love to visit though. :)

Today is Ecuador's Independence Day! (I'm not from Ecuador, I just know it).

Hmmm you forgot Chimborazo the tallest mountain in Ecuador, also considered to be a farthest point from center of the earth

I recently visited Ecuador and recognized the pictures of Machalilla National Park, Agua Blanca and parts of Quito. It is an amazing and beautiful country and would be very happy to go back!

Ecuador is really stunning!!!

As a Uruguayan I'm always happy to see our brothers. Cheers ppl!

I'm Ecuadorian, raised there yet born in NYC, and I'm probably the whitest Ecuadorian in existence since my father is British. People try to speak to in English when I go there, I love the look on their faces when I reply in fluent Spanish. (I don't have an accent either)

They're so lucky to have the Galápagos.. 🇪🇨🇪🇨

Ecuador is the #1 exporter of potassium!

I'm Ecuadorian and this is so accurate! You should have mentioned that Panama hats are ecuadorian :-)

This is exactly what I needed. A comprehensive introduction to Ecuador voiced by a very personal primary source of POCs. I feel more inspired to learn about Ecuador!

i love ecuadorian people. they are nice. greetings from Indonesia :)

I miss this good ol' days with just paul by himself and the old transitions

This is my favorite episode and i'm not even ecuatorian

Amo a los Ecuatorianos son muy amables educados positivos y trabajadores. Saludos desde Ecuador

Gran país Ecuador, saludos! 🇪🇨

Can we have this woman be in every episode

Cindy, you did it! Congrats, great channel. Saludos desde Guayaquil.

Great video folks! I'm a tour guide in my country Ecuador and yes we have it all: 84 volcanoes, beautiful beaches, the 3 USD 3 course meals, amazonian rainforest, tons of animals and plants (a lot of birds and orchids), plus the Galapagos Islands and the most cool people!!!

I like this country..Respectful

As an Ecuadorian, good job!

This is how every single episode of Geography Now! should be. I mean, I do love Barby's explanations, but Cindy being a local just made it so much richer. Beautiful.

This is the best video you have made yet. The graphics and 3D effects, information and flow of the videos just get better and better. Keep up the good work. Cindy was a great co-host. Lets have more of that kind of stuff.

I'm from Ecuador and my country it's very beautiful.

I'm spending a month in Ecuador very soon so this was really helpful

sick video man, its true i'll never forget my Ecuadorian friend

I'm Ecuador 🇪🇨 and Mexican

Ok, Cindy is precious! Loved her presence in the episode

I like how ecuador is all anti imperialism yet they use the dollar. Lol

Hey guys! You released this today, August 10th. And precisely today in Ecuador, we celebrate our "Primer Grito de Independencia", like our National Day. What a nice coincidence! Was it planned before? XD

I really liked that you not only took input from a local but actually had them work with you on the vid. Super cool hope to see more of this when possible!

It's so good to know better about Ecuador, Christopher Vélez's (CNCO) country, cuz he's my crush 😍❤ I love Ecuador, it's mi vecino, cuz I'm Brazilian. Greetings from Brazil to all ecuatorian people 😘

you forgot mt Chimborazo thing

Where my Ecuadorian women at 🇪🇨💯

I wish I could travel to ecuador... love from Colombia 🇨🇴💗🇪🇨

Awesome country, especially if you like being outdoors in nature. So much variety. I actually climbed Reventador (one of the volcanoes mentioned in the video) when it was putting out lava flows a few years ago, and also Tungarahua volcano while it was undertaking small, frequent ash eruptions (I didn't go all the way to the summit, that would have been pretty dangerous). If you like volcanoes, Ecuador is basically heaven (also Guatemala, Indonesia and Chile). You can also drive a car to nearly 17,000 feet above sea level (well over 5,000 metres), to the base camp refugio where people stay and acclimatize (to the high elevation, low oxygen) when undertaking expeditions climbing Chimborazo volcano (an extinct volcano whose summit is the farthest place on the surface of the Earth from Earth's center, since the Earth bulges as you get towards the equator). It's not the highest road on the planet (that is either in Bolivia or Pakistan/India/China...basically the Himalayas - it depends on how you define "road"), but it's higher than most people will get to drive in their lifetimes (it's over 1,000 metres higher than the road to the telescopes at the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii). The Ecuadorian Amazon is some of the least well-explored rainforest on the planet...it's absolutely beautiful there, and it's fairly cheap and easy to access. You might pay as an individual, 50 USD per day for an excursion to one of many rainforest camps that have river access (and if you're in a group of more than 4-5 people, that goes down to 35 USD per day or so, accomodation and food included). Just be careful, and have good situational awareness as you walk - on one of my rainforest hikes, I almost stepped on a fer-de-lance snake; if you get envenomated by a snake in the Ecuadorian Amazon, especially the fer-de-lance, bushmaster or coral snake, your chances of survival are quite low since you're several hours away from a hospital, and those reptiles have killed people in under 6 hours (bushmaster can be as low as 2 hours, if he gets a good injection in). Fun stuff. Finally, the people in Ecuador are AMAZING. Very tough people, especially the mountain folk. These guys live in an environment with up to 40% less oxygen than there is at sea level, and yet you see them in great shape, hauling bundles of wood on their backs over a few miles, or biking between villages at 4,500 metres above sea level. Also, some of the younger people LOVE to push themselves. Climbing Reventador, I met a young lady on the trail who was celebrating her 31st birthday by undertaking a grueling rainforest hike and thousand metre mountain climb. By herself. Just to see if she still had it in her.

I liked this episode and it was nice that you involved your friend Cindy.

Saludos hermanos ecuatorianos :D

I really loved this video, I’ve been following you for about 2 or 3 years and I didn’t know this video existed, Ecuador is beautiful!

5:10 "Once you meet an Ecuadorian, you will never forget them" Man! That's what some of my friends from other countries say to me :p

Happy Birthday Ecuador.

The food looks great! My mouth started watering when you showed it. I encourage you guys to include more of the typical food from each country in each video.

You have done an amazing job with this chanel! I can't get enough of your videos! Cheers from Greece!

I literally love you dude :D And I do love Ecuador, I've been living there for a while and it's amazing. Congrats from Spain!

I visited Quito in Feb 2016, and it was the best trip ever, amazing country, friendliest people, delicious foods,... I wish that i was good at writing, i could be publishing a book about Quito by now

I have a friend that speaks Quechua and Spanish perfectly and I'm always like : DUDEHHH TALK ME IN QUECHUA PLEASE I LOVE IT. Ya la tengo cansada xD.

I love when you all bring in guests from the country. more of that please

It's really cool you introduce people behind the scenes a lot. I think more youtubers should do that since they are such a big part of what makes the show.

Cindy is adorable! I love her accent, she reminds me so much of a friend of mine 😊 it's also really cool that you include people actually coming from the countries you're describing! I love your channel, keep up the great work ❤

like si eres de ECUADOR

I travelled to this country in 2010, and it was honestly the best place ever.

If this guy cant help me pass my gepolitics exam, literally no one else can. Super helpful. Thank you, Barby! (and wish me luck on monday :D)

I guess you could call it the Banana Republic

i really want to travel to Ecuador and Columbia.i love the cultures from south america.this is from china.hope one day i can go there.🙏🏻🇪🇨🇨🇴🇨🇳

Oh, a video about Ecuador and mentioning Brazil

She slayed his whole life at 7:03

I've been to the Orellana/Coca airport. It's tiny! And yeah I had a 3 course meal in Quito for $2.50. Also, going to Galapagos is really expensive, so if you're going to Ecuador and can't afford to go, I'd recommend going to Isla de la Plata instead (poor man's Galapagos will only set you back $20 and you will see many of the same animals)

Greetings from Bulgaria! -здрасти

I was in Quito in 1977. It was an amazing place.

Ecuador, oficialmente la República de Ecuador, es un país en el noroeste de América del Sur, limita con Colombia al norte, Perú al este y sur, y el Océano Pacífico al oeste. Ecuador también incluye las Islas Galápagos en el Pacífico, a unos 1,000 kilómetros (621 millas) al oeste del continente. La capital y ciudad más grande es Quito.

did you guys hear that the uk changed to its from united kingdom to Eunited kingdom, thats means where next!

I can't believe he didn't use the ECUADOR song by SASH!

I’m truly enjoying your content thank you for a little seed for my brain

i love this country, highly recommend it to everyone. gracias por todo mi Quitena, te amo
