    Extractions: History of Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands Ecuador's history is rich and colorful, spanning some 12,000 year of human civilization from early tribal settlers to grand empires and kingdoms, Inca lords and Spanish conquistadors, legends of gold and treachery, colonization and rebellion, and finally democracy and independence. Yet the human history of the Galapagos Islands is relatively recent, dating back a few centuries when wayward ships and pirates found food and shelter in the islands. Later, whalers and colonists made their homes along the shores. The famed naturalist Charles Darwin visited the islands in 1835 and his five week stay had a profound affect on his thinking. His theory of evolution rocked the scientific world when it was published in 1859 in the text of his book, The Origins of Species . The Galapagos were declared a National Park in 1967 and a marine sanctuary was established in 1998. To learn more click on the links below: Discovery Whalers Darwin Early Colonists ...

    Extractions: Pre Colombian History For 12,000 years Ecuador has been home to various civilizations. Early cultures celebrated the history of their forefathers through songs, dances, and story telling. Oral history was an important part of religious ceremonies. Little of this history remains today. The Spanish forcefully converted the indigenous culture to Catholicism, religious ceremonies were abandoned and many of the stories forgotten. The tales that endured are of the Inca's who arrived in Ecuador shortly before the Spanish. Information about earlier cultures is attributed to the archeological treasures discovered throughout the country. Ecuador is a young country archeologically speaking; the importance of unearthing and preserving ruins does not have the enthusiastic support of the country and scientists as in Mexico, Peru, Egypt or Turkey. Many of the country's ruins remain buried, left simply as a mysterious symbol of an earlier culture. One can only imagine what has left to be discovered. Opportunities to learn about Pre-Colombian cultures include the well-preserved ruins in Machalilla and Ingapirca or visiting one of the excellent museums housing collections of artwork and tools. The first known culture of Ecuador is the Las Vegas , a group of hunters and gathers who lived on the Santa Elena Peninsula between the Guayas Basin and Salinas. Living in houses and making textiles they enjoyed a varied economy and they existed by farming crops including maize and squash, hunting, and exploiting the mangroves for wood, oysters and other seafood. The museum "Museo de los Amantes de Sumpa" near Santa Elena houses displays of the Las Vegas and tells the story of their culture.

    http://www.bolivarmo.com/history.htm
    
    Extractions: History of Simon Bolivar Simon Bolivar (1783-1830) Simon Bolivar was one of South America's greatest generals. His victories over the Spaniards won independence for Bolivia, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. He is called El Liberator (The Liberator) and the "George Washington of South America." Bolivar was born in July 24, 1783, at Caracas, Venezuela. His parents died when he was a child and he inherited a fortune. As a young man, he traveled in Europe. As he returned to Venezuela, Bolivar joined the group of patriots that seized Caracas in 1810 and proclaimed independence from Spain. He went to Great Britain in search of aid, but could get only a promise of British neutrality. When he returned to Venezuela, and took command of a patriot army, he recaptured Caracas in 1813 from the Spaniards. The Spaniards forced Bolivar to retreat from Venezuela to New Granada (now Colombia), also at war with Spain. He took command of a Colombian force and captured Bogota in 1814. The patriots, however, lacked men and supplies, and new defeats led Bolivar to flee to Jamaica. In Haiti he gathered a force that landed in Venezuela in 1816, and took Angostra (now Ciudad Bolivar). He also became dictator there. Bolivar marched into New Granada in 1819. He defeated the Spaniards in Boyar in 1819, liberating the territory of Colombia. He then returned to Angostura and led the congress that organized the original republic of Colombia (now Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, and Venezuela). Bolivar became its first president on December 17, 1819.

    http://www.ecuador-travel.net/information.history.htm
    
    Extractions: comprises the time, when the continent got populated and before the arrival of the Spaniards. Many small Indian cultures were spread out throughout the country with commerce happening between the coastal Indians to the Highland Indians and into the Amazon. Agriculture was the mainstay of many but they also knew the use of pottery and metalwork. Beginning before 1500 conquest and influence by the Inca Empire, mostly felt in the Andes region. In 1531 Spaniards, who were already established in Mexico and the Caribbean Islands, landed from Panama by boat on an South American shore. After defeating the Inca Empire and subjugating the native population, the Spanish crown established their rule over the continent with help of Spanish colonists and the Catholic church. Quito was an important cultural and administrative center in the colonial times. Forces for the independence of Spanish America from the mother country, led by Simon Bolivar and Mariscal Sucre defeated the loyalists and established independent republics as known today throughout the continent. Governments frequently changed from elected presidents to military dictatorships and back.

    Extractions: The first written historical fact about the crater is that in the land inside the crater passed into the possession of the monks of the Dominican Church Order . At that time in Ecuador's history the Catholic church was the biggest land owner in the country and the various religious orders ran huge agricultural enterprises. Natives worked in those big haciendas owned by the church or individual Spaniards as huasipungeros (term for rural Indian serfs). Although they received a modest remuneration for their work, they were dependent on their patron (term for owner) for their well-being. Not only did they have no choice as to buy their necessities in the hacienda stores but as they were outside the legal frame work of the Spanish colony, were under the benevolence of their patron . That particular hacienda in the crater dedicated itself to the cultivation of the land, growing cereals and corn and to the raising of cattle. It is also well-documented that the
