Is Ecuador safe to travel on my own?

Question

Im going to Quito, Guayaquil and Galapagos next month.

Answer 1

As any country in the world, you need to do some essential things in order to be safe as there are robbers everywhere in the planet. Ecuador is a safe place in terms of terrorists, etc. Just be aware that any person can spot the tourist if they see them map in hand, camera hanging from the neck, etc. I have walked several times in downtown Quito and I've been safe. There are lots of policemen too. Stick to major roads, not dark streets, leave valuables in a safe in the hotel, things like that. Guayaquil is a more modern town so be careful there in terms of money, jewelry, etc. Galapagos will be very safe.

Answer 2

yeah.. why what are you afraid of in ecuador? birds and seals.. but watch ur back boy i might be coming after YOU
