Historical and archeological relics abound in this South American country. There’s Quito (declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in the 1970s), which is the best preserved historic center in Latin America, and then there’s the city of Cuenca, another famous historic center (declared a World Heritage Site in 1999). Both are outstanding examples of a Spanish style colonial city. Ecuador also is known for its great variety of animal species. With its culturally diverse background, range of foods, vibrant and colorful cities, and stunning landscapes, Ecuador is the promise of an amazing picture album. Let photographer George Lakis lead the way in a photography workshop sure to please.
