CURATORIAL:

Ecuador is a multidiverse country. Four natural regions weave its biological wealth: the Pacific Coast, with its abundance of seafood, welcoming sandy beaches and equatorial sun;

The Sierra, with snow-capped peaks and mountains, lakes and picturesque towns where it seems that time has stopped, churches that have witnessed proclamations of Freedom and the devout prayers of their parishioners in the cold early mornings;

The Amazon, with the exuberance of its jungle, the mystery of the animals that inhabit it and the strength of its rivers of great flow as guardians of the original cultures that are nourished by it; and,

The Galápagos Islands or insular region, known around the world for the beauty of its unique fauna and flora, an archipelago witness to stories of survival, buccaneers and great historical and scientific significance, such as that of the visit of the Beagle, which allowed Charles Darwin to formulate his theory on the evolution of species in the year 1835;

Ecuador has been committed for a long time to preserve intact the wonders of its nature and also its historical legacy; This effort has been rewarded with two declarations, such as Natural Heritage for the Galapagos Islands in 1979 and World Heritage in 1978 for the city of Quito, by the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture. -UNESCO.

This photographic exhibition seeks to bring the public closer to that multidiverse Ecuador that vibrates in every flash of sun, in the crash of the waves, in the majesty of its volcanoes, in the architecture of its colonial legacy and in the incomparable grandeur of its flora and its fauna. This is Ecuador, closer to the world.
