(-/-/-) Day 2 – Quito City tour and Chocolate & Art Experience After breakfast, we head out to explore the heart of historical Quito, the first city named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. We wander the parks, plazas, churches and neighborhoods of this fascinating blend of Colonial, Republican and modern life, with its dozens of shops, busy trading and charming traditions. After lunch, we make our way to northern Quito, to the Guayasamín Foundation. Here guests are welcomed through a private entrance into the former residence of Oswaldo Guayasamín, Ecuador’s most celebrated contemporary painter. We have time to explore the museum to find out more about the man and his painting, admiring his own collection of artworks as well as an ample perspective of his oeuvre. Still within the residence, we are treated to a chocolate tasting experience with the Ecuadorian brand To’ak, which employs the oldest and rarest variety of cacao on earth to confection limited editions of single-origin Ecuadorian dark chocolate. Its flagship creation was aged for four years in a French oak cognac cask and is considered the most valuable chocolate in the world. To’ak is pioneering the way the world experiences dark chocolate, elevating its making and tasting to the level of fine wine and aged whisky. Departure to Cotopaxi Province. Overnight and dinner at Hacienda El Porvenir.

The hacienda property – cupped and protected by surrounding hills – offers our travelers a unique means to encounter one of the world’s highest active volcanoes while remaining safe at all times. As soon as we can, we don our cowboy chaps, ponchos and riding hats to venture out of the hacienda’s well-trained and cared for horses. We climb steadily up the slopes of the extinct volcano, Ruminahuĩ , to arrive at a beautiful viewpoint. We are accompanied by local chagras, Ecuadorian cowboys, and learn about their hardy lives and country ways. Back at the farmhouse, adventures of a cultural kind await as we travel through history, learning about the most emblematic crops in the Americas, and the syncretism of two continents: Europe and America. Women from the local community teach us about their cooking techniques, recipes and products. We try our hand at making famous cheese turnovers followed by preparing aji (chili) on a stone mortar. After lunch, we hike towards the San Juanes viewpoint and the Manto Blanco waterfall. Once there, over a dozen volcanoes including Cotopaxi can be seen on a clear day. Overnight and dinner at Hacienda El Porvenir. (B/L/D) Galapagos Safari Camp | Toll free + 1 805 995 4093 www.galapagossafaricamp.com Day 4 – Cotopaxi National Park A day dedicated to exploring the wilds of the national park that surrounds one of Ecuador’s (and South America’s) highest peaks: Cotopaxi. The 5,897-meter, snow-capped volcano rises from the almost barren plains, majestically towering over the towns and villages in its shadow. Its name translates as “Smooth Neck of the Moon,” in English. It has been regarded as a sacred colossus since before the times of the Inca. The protected 28,000-hectare park is home to foxes, pumas, bears, wild horses, and wolves. Birds include spot-billed ground-tyrants, the streak-backed canastero, and Andean snipes. Once inside the park’s borders, the adventure begins. Options for exploring include a climb to the Refugio, located at the end of a strenuous hike at altitude. The climber’s station seated just below the glacier at 4,810 meters, is where hikers prepare their ascent to conquer the summit. The view of the Andean landscape and surrounding peaks from above the clouds makes the climb worthwhile. Inside, a variety of light snacks, sandwiches, and hot drinks are available. Next, we make our way to Limpiopungo. This glacier-fed lake is located amid the plains at the foot of the volcano, with a trail skirting its shores. Here we can spot ducks, hummingbirds and hopefully, birds of prey. The contrasting views of the landscape are breathtaking, alternating between sweeping panoramas of the surrounding peaks, to the reflection of the volcano in the placid waters of the lake. The plains of the park are home to wild horses and hardy flora, growing amid the rocky outcrops. After exploring the park, we return to for lunch at Volcano Land, with a guided walk around the property. Horseback and bicycle rides can be arranged upon request. The trip concludes with a drive back through the highlands to Quito, where we arrive by 6pm with enough time to relax before dinner (on your own). Overnight Eurobuiling Airport Hotel. (B/L/-) Galapagos Safari Camp | Toll free + 1 805 995 4093 www.galapagossafaricamp.com Day 5 - In search of the giant tortoise After breakfast, a private transfer will take you to the airport for your internal flight to Galapagos. The Galapagos Safari adventure begins after you meet your bi-lingual naturalist guide at the airport or dock. Guests and baggage in tow, the journey begins; traveling by private transport from the arid zone through the transitional zone, into the lush highlands of Santa Cruz. The first stop is Los Gemelos or the Twins; two overgrown, lava tunnels that formed massive sink holes when they collapsed. The larger of the twins is 2,300 feet deep and almost 1,300 feet wide! On a short hike around the rim, your guide will point out the birds of the endemic Scalesia forest such as Galapagos doves and eight species of Charles Darwin’s finches. From Los Gemelos the day takes you to a tortoise reserve. The reserves of Santa Cruz are home to Giant tortoises with domed shells and short necks to accommodate the environment of the island. The many trails of the highlands, including those around the camp, lead to sightings of the reluctant giants resting in ponds and slowly traversing the land. Keep a look out for short-eared owls, if you are lucky they can be spotted in the trees dotting the landscape. Elsewhere in the highlands are elaborate, underground lava tubes, created centuries ago by the Santa Cruz volcano. The tubes formed when the lava at the surface cooled, insulating the molten lava underneath. As the lava flowed, it left these tubes in its wake. Some of the tunnels on Santa Cruz go for miles and are 60 feet high. Local folklore says that they were used by pirates to hideout and store supplies. Descend into the caves for a mysterious look into the island’s formation, following a lit path with your guide through cavernous tunnels dating back at least one million years. The experience can be daunting in spots where the tubes get narrow, but it’s a worthwhile trek into the geological past of the island. After stopping for lunch, the group makes way back to the camp. Enjoy a sunset cocktail on our lookout, and a four- course, tapas-inspired meal in the main lodge before retiring for the evening. (B/L/D) Galapagos Safari Camp | Toll free + 1 805 995 4093 www.galapagossafaricamp.com Day 6 - Explore Seymour Island Our safari trip to North Seymour Island and Las Bachas on Santa Cruz start in the morning after breakfast with a drive to Canal Itabaca, where you board a boat for a 45-minute journey over water to the Seymour’s shores. Depending on the time of the year, North Seymour plays host to blue-footed booby and frigate mating colonies. Land iguanas also frequent the area, seen along the 2-mile trail that circumvents the island. The trail is relatively flat due to the way that the island was formed; pushed up from the sea bed by lava eruptions. On the way inland, nests of blue- footed boobies skirt the trail, and Galapagos mockingbirds and yellow warblers are often spotted before flying off for higher ground. As you draw near to the frigate colony, the remarkable birds take over the landscape, appearing around every bend. Males inflate their red, basketball-sized pouch to attract mates, an awe-inspiring sight that is as stunning as it is beautiful. Mosquera islet in the channel between Baltra and North Seymour is another fun sight to explore on the island.

  • Park Guards in the Conservation of Protected Areas Angela Martin
    park guards in the conservation of protected areas Angela Martin Parks in Peril, Innovations in Conservation Series, 2007 Park guards are the field staff in charge of the protection and security of natural resources in a protected area (Núñez, 2005). Depending on the specific character- istics of the protected area, they are also in charge of safeguarding cultural resources (PROARCA/APM, 2004). Without their presence, protected areas are more vul- nerable to the factors threatening their integrity. Park guards may be employed by government or civil society institutions, (using their own or donors’ resources), or work as volunteers. Support for park guards and their work is considered a key component for the Hugo Arnal strengthening of protected areas. This includes the provision of essential equipment for their operations, such as vehicles, radios and uniforms, as well as training. Accord- ing to a 1998 study done for the Parks in Peril (PiP) program, the most effective way to engage communities in management activities was to hire them as guards for the areas (Brandon et al, 1998). PiP has consequently promoted participatory processes in this issue... as a way of involving the community and encouraging local residents to become guides • General characteristics of park or park guards, on a paid or volunteer basis. Also, PiP encouraged government agen- guards cies to facilitate patrolling and training for park guards and transfer authority to local actors (Martin and Rieger, 2003). • Innovative strategies with park guards The purpose of this bulletin is to present general elements about the characteristics, - Community, indigenous and roles and responsibilities of the park guards in the protected areas, emphasizing some volunteer park guards innovative strategies from which lessons can be derived.

    ANTHROPOGENIC CHANGE IN THE LANDSCAPES OF HIGHLAND ECUADOR* FAUSTO 0. SARMIENTO ABSTRACT. The anthropogenii nature of Andean ecosystems is discussed in the framework of tree-line dynamics in selected sites in Ecuador. Indicators of human impact are evidence of the need for a scientific understanding of neotropical mountains that is better in tune with the special conditions of tropical Andean environments. Tropandean systems are neither tropical ecosystems nor midlatitude regions, and lessons from ecologically damaging activi- ties in those ecosystems cannot be transferred readily to Tropandean systems. Better research from the ethnobiological and ecological fronts is needed if we are to comprehend the intri- cate functions of neotropical mountains, particularly the cloud-forest belt, which is regarded as the most threatened ecosystem when considering sustainability scenarios. Keywords: Andes Mountains, Ecuador, geoecology, paramos, tree-line change, tropical montane cloudforest. %istory-geological, archaeological, and agricultural-is a necessary main frame- work when delimiting the edge of the Tropandean ecoregion, or tropical montane cloud forest ( TMCF). Landscape-level conservation planning must then acknowl- edge humans as the catalyst of landscape change. Today’s TMCF landscape in fact reflects two tree lines: an upper one that correlates with the extension of grazing into the colder, higher reaches, which reduces the area of TMCFS from above; and a lower one that correlates with the ascending intensification of cropland agriculture

  • Destination Guide
    !!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! ECUADOR HIGHLIGHTS Ecuador is a land of exceptional geographic and biological diversity, no more clearly displayed with its amazing Galapagos Islands. The Ecuadorian Andes are dominated by an avenue of volcanoes, 25 of them active; several of these, including Tungurahua and Sangay, have erupted in recent years. In Cotopaxi, Ecuador boasts the world’s highest active volcano, while the summit of Chimborazo, an extinct volcano and Ecuador’s highest peak, is the furthest point from the Earth’s centre. With such mountains to play with so close to Quito, it’s small wonder that Ecuador is becoming increasingly popular for trekkers and climbers searching for Andean beauty in off-the-beaten track areas. Chimborazo Volcano, Ecuador A must-see for Ecuador and indeed South America is a visit to the Galapagos Archipelago, where Charles Darwin’s words may echo through your mind. This wildlife paradise, lying 1,000 km off Ecuador’s shores, can be a life-enhancing experience. Nowhere else in the world is the wildlife so obligingly tame, the islands so rugged and the highlights so many. More wildlife and fantastic culture awaits those that journey to Ecuador’s Amazon region, to the East of the Andes, brimming with animals and folklore, which your local guide will be delighted to explain. The Pacific coast boasts palm-fringed beaches and a warm year-round climate, for those that wish to relax by the sea at the end of an adventure holiday. Ecuador’s climate varies according to season, altitude and region. The best time to visit the Andes is the dry season (June to Sept and Dec to Jan).
