Local Customs: Local People
  • Tip Rating:
  • Be careful when you want to make pictures of local people. Some locals do not like to be photographed.

    So be polite and friendly, and talk to them first and ask if you can make picture.

    Some of these Indian ladies are selling small Indian souvenirs, you can try to buy something and them you get more chance to make a picture.

    (In fact Indian is a wrong word, it is better to call them Indigenas)

    Remember: you are not walking around in a Zoo. These are also human beings just like you. So show some respect.

    Another possibility is using a big zoom lens, and then you have the chance that they do not notice you when you are making the picture from a larger distance.

     I have to do a virtual tour for my college class and it is suppose to seem real. So thanks for the help in this because you gave me a great insight for my project.

     Interesting tips. Did you have personal experience of getting robbed there?

     Thank you! Your tips were helpful in planning for a possible trip there later this year.

     Beautiful skies. Beautifl music under the stars. Great colonial architecture. Quito seems like a great bonus for a Galapagos trip.
