Peter Greenberg received a royal tour from the President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa. For an entire week, Mr. Correa became the ultimate guide, showcasing the visual gems that his country has to offer. They took four camera crews along as they swam with piranha in the Amazon rainforest, went whale watching off the coast of Manta, shopped like a local in a rural town in the Andes Mountains, returned to the President's hometown of Guayaquil and the school he attended, visited a cacao plantation (aka chocolate) farm in Cacao, and went diving with sharks in the Galápagos Islands. Ecuador: The Royal Tour is the seventh in a series of specials with heads of state, including the King of Jordan, Prime Minister of New Zealand, Prime Minister of Israel, and the presidents of Mexico and Peru. No government head of state has any prior right of review or editorial control of the content, and everything shown on these special programs is accessible to the audience.
