 Many years ago in Ecuador, the means of transportation were not very advanced as we have now. Over the years we have had some changes in transportation. 

In 1860, animals such as: horses, donkeys and llamas were important for daily work, people used to use animals to carry household stuff. Now, they use bicycles and they were used the first time in 1875. This mean of transportation is used today for: deliveries and daily uses of people in cities.

In colonial times, floats were used to travel, they were small and they were not so comfortable to travel. Floats used to be slower than cars; now, we can travel faster in cars. They have been more modern over time and are the most comfortable and safe way to travel anywhere in the country.

If we talk about air transportation, we can say that airplanes were part of history, the firts was the ´´Patria n1´´. People used to travel in small planes only in Ecuador; now, pople can travel to many different countries in a short time, thanks to the airplanes that are now fast and efficient anywhere in the world.

The canoes were small and used by their natives, in Guayaquil, canoes used to be means of transportation but they were very slow; now people use cabelways, since it is the modern transport of today in the city of Guayaquil, it connects various points of the city and it is easier and faster to transport.

Finally, the maritime transportation. Around 1562, Rafts used to take people to many places; now, vessels only transport goods. Vessel are now one of the most amazing means of transportation, despite the fact that it only serves for exports to different parts of the world from our country.
