Topics include the history of Ecuador's flag and coat of arms, geographic regions, food, Quito (the capital), recent wildlife exploration, Jivaro Indians, and the importance and history of cacao. Biographical sketches are presented on Sebastian de Belalcazar, Francisco Javier Eugenio de Santa Cruz y Espejo, Jose Joaquin de Olmedo, Susana Reyes, and Wilson Pico. Traditions and customs, music, and poetry are discussed in the Spanish language section along with the Galapagos Islands and the llama.
