Introduction
Ambato is a small city, home to some 200,000 people, but with a very metropolitan feel to it. The city is a market town in its own right. The city explodes on Monday which is market day where the businessmen from the high rises walk the streets with the indigenous folk from the country. Ambato is a perfect city for those looking to escape the tourist trail. Walking around these streets is a blast and you'll never run into another gringo. Carnival is a huge deal which is celebrated by the festival of the fruits and flowers.
