Fun facts about Ecuador
Posted on December 20, 2010 // 16 Comments
We’ve
observed a few things about Ecuador you may not find in your local
travel guide. As we make our way into Colombia, we want to leave you
with this little list of fun facts we learned during our travels.(All of these statements are said with great affection, since we have really grown to love this country.)
Transportation
- Stop = yield. This is no joke. A friendly tap on the horn as you approach an intersection is about all the warning you’ll get from an approaching car. And following behind the car in front of you? That’s for suckers. Ecuadorians continually tailgate and pass the cars in front of them. We’ve even seen buses pass each other at night on 2-lane curvy mountain roads. No one wants to wait once they get in the car (before they get in the car, that’s another story!)....Fun facts about Ecuador Posted on December 20, 2010 // 16 Comments We’ve observed a few things about Ecuador you may not find in your local travel guide.
