Ecuadorians are one of the friendliest people that I ever met. Love this country! Besos from Italy
My family is from Ecuador 🇪🇨
How many Ecuadorians have you met in your life?
because all my friends are bad spoken
@@soph5835 congratulations
Lol depends who u ask🤣
You forgot to mention we created the Panama hat
Money Jordan in Cuenca!! 😁
It is !! thanks, I love my little town!
Ayeee Cuenca Love
yes!!!
Very true
7:29 that’s literally my dad screaming in the shades 😂😂😂😂😂
Love to Ecuador from Colombia 🇨🇴❤️🇪🇨
Ecuador an Colombia a are good friend countrys
Especially since Ecuador once was a part of Colombia (Gran Colombia).
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
Hi, ecuadorian here. Otavaleños is the name for the people from the city of Otavalo, but "Otavalos" is used to identify that ethnic group's people. But to be honest, no one here gives a damn.
Ecuadorian "Mestizo" population is on average 40-60% indigenous (more on the Sierra, less on the Coast) and about 5-10% black, but some people try to deny that just because they "appear" white. You just need around 40-50% of Caucasian blood to have blonde hair and lighter eyes and skin. Yet, due to Colorism, people tend to prefer relatives and friends who look "whiter" despite it being obvious they are mostly mixed. Unless your parents or grandparents come directly from Europe, you probably have indigenous blood running through your veins.
@Elena Reyes That's about what I said, that they are on average 50% indigenous. But on the Coast is more common to find a little bit less Indigenous people due to the maritime ports being there and the influx of people from the other countries. But that there are pure Indigenous people on the coast is true, just a little less than in the Sierra.
@J Daniel no need to be rude
Hy I'm ecuatorian. Statistics indicate that until 1970 more than 50% of the population was indigenous and another large percentage was Montubia. However, currently the vast majority of people deny themselves, which discrimination and lack of identity have done. It is nice to read this and I do not take it badly, I am proud to say that I am indigenous. What really surprise me is that the people of this country deny themselves, they don't realize that the most beautiful thing about a country is its culture and its identity. If I said this elsewhere or in Spanish, probably many people would attack me claiming that they are "meztizos" but the truth is that this country has very little foreign influence, except in certain places (very few) where that does happen.
Every time I see bannana, they're from Ecuador.
Croatian brother =) xD
+Norman Hampton U mad bro :)
Gde si burazeru :D
well i guess you when you commented
my are from Guatemala another banana republic
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!!

Not all Ecuadorians eat Cuy, it is mostly in the Sierra region, trust me. lol
Nightwing El It's delicioso!!!
Nightwing El right 😩💯‼️

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!🇦🇿❤🇪🇨
Correcto 🥶
hey mr azerbaijani! ilove baku
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!
jsphat81 heck yeah! guayaquileño orgulloso
Bruno Peñaloza What are you talking about? Almost every time Peru fought against Ecuador, it was because the Ecuadorians began invading our territory and the only thing we were doing was to defend ourselves.
Bruno Peñaloza Traitors to whom? Who are we betraying? I’d love to know what your conspiracy theory is on this subject.
jsphat81 We're the chill country of south America
jsphat81 literaly we're in the middle of eveywhere
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
And also Ecuador is also good friends with chile
Yay... Ecuador gets along well with Chile, one of our closest friends and allies, Viva Chile!!
CHILE!
wondering why? because Peru happened!
xtph
I don't get your comment.
what I meant is that we're strategic allies... geopoliticaly speaking
My fourth grade Spanish teacher is from Ecuador!
King of the Potato People Mine toooo
my 3rd grade spanish teacher is from colombia

Very beautiful country ,Ecuador ,greetings from singapore

as an ecadorian whos lived in singapore thanks :)
Singapore is also a very nice country

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.
U didnt bring guines pigs for the gods on the summitt, SHAME on yous
@@dannyho6786 lol
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
And we eat soup a lot. Almost every day. While it seems like soups are not not an every day thing in USA.
Yaaayyyyy!!!.. Ecuador video came out just in time... August 10th!, Our National Day... Best timing ever Barby!!!
Greetings from "El Pupo del Mundo".
Lol ombligo! Jajaja
el pupo xD
Que significa El Pupo?
@@mirjamvooijs Pupo es ombligo, que también se entiende como centro, mitad. Como Ecuador está en la Mitad del Mundo, pues algunas personas lo empezaron/mos a llamar así, el "Pupo del Mundo" XD
Ecuador is such a beautiful place. I'm from Colombia and I love Ecuador and its people. I strongly recommend to visit the country. :)
Stay Strong Ecuador against Corona from Canada 🇨🇦🇪🇨
Grande Ecuador, país hermano, los queremos mucho en Chile.
The country where 98% of the population lives in 3% of the land is coming!
Like Canada?
Near the river nile
Java island
Nah canadians live a good portion of the country. Like 10%
Japan
they are the real banana republic.
Colombia providence*
It’s one of their exports, their main one being oil. Wonder where a potential OPEC county south of the US border sends or steals the income of such a global commodity???? Just asking questions since everyone seems to have an answer to something they know nothing about.
@@S489_20mg How come the US has not invaded them yet?
x3
no bananas were brought from Africa by the Spaniards to all of Latin America. Ecuador produces everything.
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.
soy colombiano y me agradan mucho los ecuatorianos... les deseo lo mejor XD
Wait, PENGUINS?! In Ecuador???
Actually they do have penguins in Isabela Island at Galapagos Archipelago
yeah. the Galapagos islands are home to the most northward living species of penguins on earth. pretty cool, right?
Yep, we have penguins here, crazy isn't it
they come of the Antarctica with the cold current of Humboldt
Yes ;)
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.
Love Ecuadorians, from Guinea Bissau
My love for the country is so profound that I left the USA to live in Ecuador!
Wow
bruh
I don't know if I should trust Ms. Information
"misinformation"
i just got it
(facepalm)
Bwaaaahahaha! Nice!... I could listen to her all day though...
Soon to be Mrs. Information.....she's engaged to another guy that's been featured on the channel....hehe ;)
I really like her accent like oh my😂😂
Yeah, it was so cool
+vandon pink am I?
+vandon pink yeah I like Barby
I dont hear any accent at all
+vandon pink So AIDS now.
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
As a Uruguayan I'm always happy to see our brothers. Cheers ppl!
You have no idea how excited I am for your country’s episode-!
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!
Damn. I'm German/Ecuadorian and that video is accurate af
hi Ecuador love you from India
Cordiali saluti di un Equadoregno per il popolo di. India. Cordiales saludos de un ECUATORIANO para el pueblo de la. India 👌
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)
Kersey i have a spanish last name, i'm also "white" but the spanish kind, but i've identified as mestiza. Loja, Cuenca, the Sierra or highlands have a lot of spnish influence and heritage
Mmm la verdad yo tengl amigos super blancos incluso rubios🤔 de gye yo creo que tal vez te vean diferente por tu estatura (si es que eres alta) Depende a donde vayas de paso. Si vas a una de las ciudades principales de ley piensan que eres extranjera pero no creo que en quito o en gye
Jessica Ramos concuerdo contigo
but it seem ecuador has a lower population of white in south america
@Elena Reyes are you ecuadorian?
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!
I always wondered what iguanas ate
hello
gaddim boi
I feel bad for people in Zimbabwe it'll take a while to get to their country .
Can you do each part of the U.K. separately? Each has its own distinct culture and history. The video would either not have enough information or be a half hour long.
Ecuador is really stunning!!!
I'm Ecuadorian and this is so accurate! You should have mentioned that Panama hats are ecuadorian :-)
Wow Ecuador...Wonderful Nature...
From 🇵🇭 The Philippines
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!
Today is Ecuador's Independence Day!
(I'm not from Ecuador, I just know it).
That is a strange coincidence this was uploaded on the country's independence day.
possibly done on purpose?
OMG YEAH feliz día de independencia!!!
Boris Torres
Do you do anything special for Independence Day in Ecuador?
no! the 10 of August not was the independence day it was when the first person start to think in the independence in all America and it was in Quito, it was difficult to the Ecuadorians get the independence, that's why we don't was the first ones but because of that person all the people of Ecuador start to think it and start planing the independence. That's why Quito take the name of 'light of America' because the idea of the independence not only was for Ecuador, other countries hear it too and start to think about it.
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!
Hmmm you forgot Chimborazo the tallest mountain in Ecuador, also considered to be a farthest point from center of the earth
all the iguanas I've ever met were jerks. I'd love to visit though. :)
As an Ecuadorian, yes, they all are... But their fights with snakes are awesome
Richard Myhan yes they are assholes for sure
@@happybeach777 lol. I think they´re cool .
Ecuador is the #1 exporter of potassium!
Wait...
That's Kazakhstan!
No your think of Kazakhstan it's in their anthem
i love ecuadorian people. they are nice. greetings from Indonesia :)
They're so lucky to have the Galápagos.. 🇪🇨🇪🇨
Cindy, you did it! Congrats, great channel. Saludos desde Guayaquil.
Gran país Ecuador, saludos! 🇪🇨
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!
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!!!
Love to visit the country, maybe living there permanent in a few years. Belgium.
As an Ecuadorian, good job!
This is my favorite episode and i'm not even ecuatorian
Heheh :3
yay!!
Me too
PCspray I am ECUADOR4LIFE
Does anyone notice he said Ecuator instead of Ecuador
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.
Amo a los Ecuatorianos son muy amables educados positivos y trabajadores. Saludos desde Ecuador
sick video man, its true i'll never forget my Ecuadorian friend
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.
❤ Thanks. Hope that you can visit us again.
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!
You have done an amazing job with this chanel! I can't get enough of your videos! Cheers from Greece!
I miss this good ol' days with just paul by himself and the old transitions
everybody has to evolve
I like Barby on his own too, with just a tiny bit of help from others on screen. Nothing wrong with new and improved transitions though.
Yeah the "helpers" are spending too much time on screen.
Gwydda I think it's nice seeing other people from around the world. But Barby kinda seems like a dad when a little kid shows him a leaf and he's like "wow that REALLY COOL" but he's also awkward when they talk, i.e. Ethiopia
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.
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.
I love when you all bring in guests from the country. more of that please
Can we have this woman be in every episode
YES.
Alpha Stronghold no xd plz no.
@@vipizza5200 lol jk
YEEESSS
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.
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'm spending a month in Ecuador very soon so this was really helpful
I liked this episode and it was nice that you involved your friend Cindy.
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
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 😘
I'm from Ecuador and my country it's very beautiful.

"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
It's completely true, we are very empathic, according to a study of 2016. Ecuador is the most empathic country.
I like this country..Respectful
I’m truly enjoying your content thank you for a little seed for my brain
Thanks for sharing this interesting video about the beautiful country of Ecuador!
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 ❤
Saludos hermanos ecuatorianos :D
Acá en Ecuador hablamos Quichua, bueno yo no, la mayoría de la sierra ecuatoriana, pero no quechua eso hablan en Bolivia.
Holaaa
@@stefycadena solo se Habla quichua en algunas mas bien en pocas comunidades por no decir FAMILIAS INDIGENAS.
@J Daniel gente blanca en Ecuador?
@@stefycadena el qichua es un dialecto del quechua, pertenecen a la misma familia linguistica pero se diferencias por algunas pronunciaciones o palabras. Despues de todo el quechua les llego a ustedes con loa Incas, y estos no duraron ma e 1 siglo en tierras ecuatorianas.
Guys, You are awesome! I've send your video to my friend in Ecuador and she said that it's ALL CORRECT! And funny )))
i'm really so so excited about the next episode GEOGRAPHY NOW . hope it would be a great one :-)
Ok, Cindy is precious! Loved her presence in the episode
I like how ecuador is all anti imperialism yet they use the dollar. Lol
+aariix3
And the current government isn't corrupt?
Genuine question, not trying to make a political statement.
aariix3 Any chance of getting your original currency back? Is it Venezuela type socialism there or European type social democracy?
Sorry, have quite a few questions jaja.
they are corrupt. Even more then the old politicians, sooo
Don't believe aariix3, must be one of those correa fangirls, or a troll. The truth is that this government has had the biggest oil income EVER, and yet somehow has managed to enlarge our international debt to stupidly big figures. We are living on credit. He has presold oil to the chinese for the next decade, he has raised taxes in the middle of a recession and has made our economy gonverment dependant. If oil money goes down, state has less money, people don't get paid, economic crisis happens. A disaster. The future seems pretty dark for ecuadorian economy.
From my very limited research on the internet and this comment section. It seems that most Ecuadorians either REALLY love the Correa or REALLY hate Correa. Very strong opinions on both sides.
This was really cool! I watched it for Ecuador facts but it was so fun and interesting I’m
going to grab some snacks and watch more. Thanks!
That was awesome, a person from the country helping you would be great every episodes.
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.
Where my Ecuadorian women at 🇪🇨💯
🇪🇨❤️
You have a great last name.
Money Jordan ✋🏽
hi
Right here ✋❤
This is one of the best vids!!!! So interesting !!!!
I love watching your videos, they are very interesting and informative
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
You should return and make a video about Ecuador :)
Great idea by having a native in the video. Would love to start seeing more of this, getting a native of the country for each geography now episode from now on, would be amazing.
Loved gonna watch again
Can't wait for you to cover all the countries in the World. Love you're show Barby! Saludos de México!
I'm Ecuador 🇪🇨 and Mexican
Muffet The spider me too
Me too! 🇪🇨🇲🇽
If You from NY
you know Damn well
thats a Common Nationality😭👌🏼
I am from Ecuador and my wife is mexican, we probably gonna make more
Me too! 🇪🇨🇲🇽❤
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)
This was a beatiful video and SO on point! Thank you :)
Oh, a video about Ecuador and mentioning Brazil
I guess you could call it the Banana Republic
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.
I travelled to this country in 2010, and it was honestly the best place ever.
I love that you showed (for the penguin clip) the guy that has met up with the same penguin every year for like a decade that he help raise when it was abandoned/lost :D
