Ecuador - smallest of the states in the South America, the Andes located along a height chain. Nevertheless it does not prevent to be to it one of the most curious countries on continent. 500 dotage ago this existence charged sense and involved adventurers of all colours. Was considered, what genuine here is located imaginary Eldorado - the kingdom where street urchins play gold as picnic stones. Conquistadors, scientific, priests, travelers - innumerable went on searches of Eldorado, on the other hand all was vain. Eldorado and remains a myth, single gold инков which sometimes jewel at excavation scientists, testifies approximately rich, though extremely the bloody recent of the country. Here Inca submitted other American Indian tribes that succeeding then to fall a fatality of conquistadors, and descendants of conquistadors in turn struggled with Spain for independence of Latin America.

When Ecuador has separated from Useful Colombia, it could not lay extensive elderliness territorial questions from Peru. Cannot and to this day. It is rigid to Ecuador to reconcile that in 1942 according to the announcement of Rio de Janeiro it has been compelled to conceed a belongings of the earths Peru. And consequently the card of Ecuador printed in the country, entirely regularly differs from the cards published in other places a little.

Ecuador is obliged by the designation to equator - an imagined string of a perpendicular axis of rotation of the area and equidistant from poles. The equator crosses the community north in many kilometers from it's important Quito. The nation amazes with grandiose landscapes: demoniac tropical wood, a difficult selva of Amazon remind of those times when the subject on the world was not. On alp plateaus where unusual settlements of Indians, apparently, always are scattered the fog lays. Indeed it is clouds. In Europe or on caucasus at such heighth everlasting snow already lay. And here, on equator though and it is benumbed and strenuous to breathe now of rarefied air, there conscious people, animals are grazed.

The volcanoes extensive in two analogue elevation chains, cross all country. These chains alias Avenida - the prospectus of volcanoes. From mountains falls are overthrown and nearly any history is connected with everyone of them. For example, the falls with the romantic title "Veil of the bride" carry not less romantic history. The bird from a affluent family of planters has grown fond, naturally, poor, however bluestocking кабальеро.

Parents, as one would expect, admit opposed this pleasure and get firm to allow gone somewhat quicker a daughter for amassed suitable applicant. Deplorable ran from under a wreath directly in a marriage dress. Has rushed to search for the lover who for some actuation disappeared somewhere in mountains. On the contrary when there has come night, it has out astray, has broken from a rock and has broken to death. And its veil hooked for a stone, has turned to falls.

Other falls compass helped one abrupt guy - the macho. It has plundered bank and left in mountains from persecutors. Eventually, when they already obtain almost overtaken it, it was hooked for falls and has got on it upwards, as on a cord. Policemen further posses got remain it, but it has snatched outside the machete and has chopped falls. So policemen got downwards, and it was safely rescued with all stolen good.

Blooming and - "the Frying pan of a devil" once a year gets elsewhere of one of the most kngly falls of the South America a Satan. Earlier it appeared still besides often, but it was not positive to the God, and it has sent authoritarian streams of waters which wash off column back in an underworld.

In general, lines much sufficiently appeared in the most contrasting parts of Ecuador. But individuals not identical even were afraid of it and yet tried to part from its event any benefit. Once it all the more hold forced to construct a temple. Lines has concluded the business agreement with the architect, that whether it testament construct a temple for one after dark the architect will award it a soul. But architects the community uneasy, and the architect so has make-believe drawings, that remain stone at limit did not assign down in any plan on a place. Lines the architect has not coped to the headmost cocks and when it was cleaned back home, grinning and whistling, itself has assign latest stone.

It is amusing, that this narration is down pat for a faraway future and it concerned the most contrastive temples, birth from lofty temples Quito and Peter and Paul's cathedral in Guayaquil and finishing little churches in territory towns. Probably, lines has useful plentiful to itself a share in building of churches, that it is no awe in such Catholic country, after all, as is declared to its abounding inhabitants, - the globe round and the Christ in heavens settles down aloof over the South America. And Jehovah was in those days when the sphere was yet apartment lodgings and consequently till away does not guess to glance for its path and to glom that there. This Christ and his gargantuan should sponsor Dissimilar Light, hour the God-father has concentrated on Old. Here such entertaining cosmogonic story occurs among Ecuadorians.

Can seem, what not without the bases. As there in heavens, it is not known, but here on the nature the Christ and Maiden Maria garret over two largest cities of the country. The Christ costs on a hill over Guayaquil, and the Bulky of demon patroness Quito. The humongous of almighty Quito from the site of picture of craft seems fast not extremely impressing labour of art, but it has one unusual feature: the sculptor has represented Maiden Maria winged, as an angel that contradicts all canons. On this distinctive quality the Jumbo of creator Quito sometimes in appendix flag "the Extensive of divine being with wings". It is exigent to tell, that Ecuadorians were not damaging arranged. Gain left bad and severe Jehovah to the Ancient World, and living under the safeguard of the all-forgiving Christ and compassionate Maiden Maria. Aware though and it is poor, but it is joyful.
