Saturday August 20th: The Book Society

Dear Members and Friends,

On this occasion, Mr. Ivan Miño will talk about "Ecuador, a country with contrasts". The event will take place on August 20th.

"Ecuador, despite being a small country, with no more than 300 thousand square kilometers and 16 million people, has a great geographic and human diversity.

My presentation was based on information from the four regions of the country: Galapagos, La Costa, the Amazon region and the Andean region.

I will show a 5 minutes DVD on San Cristobal Island, which I visited in May 2016.

I will show a DVD of the great craftsmanship of the Coast (the Paja Toquilla hat or Panama hat).

I will speak about the Amazon Waorani, a group of people living in the YASUNI region, which is the most biodiverse region on the planet.

Regarding the Andean region I will speak about the greatest painter of the twentieth century Osvaldo Guayasamin and his contribution to Ecuadorian and world art. I will show several copies of his paintings".
