I am glad you enjoyed your vacation. The contrast with Europe is striking; however, several of the images could easily be mistaken for the rural landscape of any country in Central or South America—especially because of the bunches of plantains.
We have been to Ecuador too many years ago, but I didn't see the resemblance that much.
I haven't been to Ecuador, but the countryside in eastern Venezuela features banana plantations, similar modes of transport, and roadside vegetable stalls that look very much like the ones in the photos you shared.
My experience of Colombia is somewhat different—mainly because it is a colder, mountainous region—yet even the buildings bear a certain resemblance.
I’m sorry I don’t have any photos to share.
