ECUADOR - THE LAND OF THE SLEEPING GIANTS

Exploring with wide open eyes

An episode from the series LANDS OF THE EARTH - THE 52' COLLECTION

Synopsis

Ecuador has more than 20 different ethnic groups. This crossbreeding is directly linked to its history.

Despite an unprecedented rural exodus over the last 40 years, many farmers are fighting for survival by developing economic alternatives and defending the "Good Life" principle. An Amerindian concept that rejects consumerism promotes harmony between Man and Nature and the respect and safeguarding of the various cultural identities.
