We just returned from a two week tour of Ecuador called "Highway of the Volcanoes".
What a wonderful country! Loved the people. especially the indigenous native Andeans in their colorful clothes and incredibly interesting culture.
The vistas of volcanoes, waterfalls, mountainside farming, volcanic crater lakes, haciendas, llamas, alpacas, wild horses etc. were all breathtaking.
Figs:
There were plenty of sightings of fig trees from the tour bus as it lumbered through the small towns but not as common as the tree tomato, babaco, and other local fruit.
The fruit and vegetable markets did not have figs for sale.
Several of the haciendas we stayed at, had fig trees but none had mature figs that I could sample.
Here are a couple of pictures that I took including at a restaurant that served stewed figs with cheese.
If anyone is interested in non fig pictures, I could post those as well.
