Ecuadorian main hydroelectric dams in the south of the country have been having low water levels, so we're rationing our electricity. We heavily rely on hydroelectric generated energy. That is happening in Colombia too, due to insufficient rains, but the last governments have spent 0 money to improve national infrastructure. There are definitely no go zones in Ecuador as a non hispanic tourist, like the whole Esmeraldas province, many cantons of Manabí, El Oro, Los Ríos and Guayas province, and so on. Even in Guayaquil city you may find safer areas and no go areas. Cities like Cuenca, Loja, Baños or Otavalo/Ibarra are much of a safer experience. Sadly international media makes a lot of people believe in the 100% of our territory we're skipping bullets 24/7. I do walk during the evening in Quito, but it will always depend on where. Hope you had enjoyed your stay and let yourselves enjoy our local cuisine.

On the topic of electricity, Ecuador buys electricity from Colombia, and since Colombia is also having a shortage we were struggling to make ends meet. Quito is relatively safe compared to other parts of Ecuador especially the North which is the part you were in, the south of Quito can be pretty dangerous and is usually a no-go area

I live in Cuenca, i’m Ecuadorian, i think it’s safe to say that as long as you don’t go to the coastal slums, like some places in Esmeraldas and ESPECIALLY downtown Guayaquil, you’ll be just fine. Not to scare anyone off, but it is very known in Latin America that Guayaquil is an extemely unsafe city as there are so many people, so much poverty, so much crime and government crap, but weirdly enough, as soon as you leave the main city, things become much safer, i go every month to Samborondón to visit family and it’s like a preppy rich people city, high end malls, huge gated communities, fashion and very instagram oriented type place, Durán is also much safer to be in, although it may not be the most “ attractive “ place to be, still be careful everywhere. As for the Azuay province, it is the safest in Ecuador, Cuenca is the most well-known city despite not being the capital, living here my whole life as a woman it is very safe, as long as you’re smart and don’t leave expensive things around downtown, there is rarely any physical risks (kidnapping, death, accidents, etc) here. People never come to visit us because 1. They think Ecuador is just pure poverty and like some kind of 5th world african country that barely has electricity, and 2. Because, crime. Even though it’s common sense to do your research and not go to dangerous places, and Ecuador yet is by far one of the safest Latin American countries despite it all, much safer than say, Mexico or Peru. Next time visit Cuenca(city), Vilcabamba(small andean town under Loja known for its national park, horseback riding, nature, and many shops selling locally sourced crystals, purifying rocks, whatnot) And Montañita!(our famous small beach town). We are honored to have you here in our country, spread the word that it’s not that bad here!

Also I will note that while the country has historically marketed nature as their main tourist attraction (like there are luxury resorts in the Amazon rainforest, the galapagos, etc) as it's one of the most biodiversity places in the world, international media has also portrayed many of these aspects and not so much our cities, leaving people to think that we don't have infrastructure. I remember a lady asked me if there were computers in ecuador SMH. That said, for years it's also been a good destination for Americans and Europeans to retire. The food is good, the beaches are nice, we use USD and money still goes comparatively a long way. If only it were safer :c

Fellow Brit here, bienvenidos a Quito! I’m 36 years old, I’ve lived here for almost 6 years having moved from London. Ecuador is amazing in every sense. People, food, culture, scenery. The news somewhat sensationalizes the safety situation. There are obviously dangerous areas, but Quito on the whole has avoided the worst of it. As you can imagine I stick out a bit as a foreigner despite living here many years, and I have never had one bit of trouble, or even really felt threatened. You got good advice - just be sensible. Use secure taxis (I wouldn’t flag one down off the street at night for example, Uber always going to be better option). Keep valuables hidden, and stick to the safe areas (the touristic areas for you) and you’ll be fine. Enjoy the rest of your trip!

Hi! As an equatorian, Quito is a beautiful place, but not only in Quito, it's almost in all the country where the levels of robbery are high, mostly because the lack of military activities in the cities. In my opinion, I think you should also visit the Galapagos Islands, cause they are really safe and has a lot of things, it gives you like a chill vibe, I don't know :D Sorry, if you didn't understand the message, my english is not very good :D But, I'm quite happy people visit the country, because Ecuador is a wonderful place, but it doesn't encourage travelers to visit it, I think that is one of the reasons why many people don't know of it :D Thanks a lot to do the video :D

I hope you can come back to Quito City it's one of the safest cities in South America and Ecuador itself, most of the city is safe, except the outskirts, the extreme parts of the city (the north or south end, not recommended) but you'll find Quito is very liveable, it has everything you need, you'll not suffer food poisoning if you go to good restaurants, the people here is very hospitable and the weather is like spring almost all year round. The historic city (Old Quito) is just a place where you must take a bit of care. But the modern part is like any other place of the world. There's so much to see and do, If you are outdoorsy you missed a place well known as "Parque Metropolitano" full of eucalyptus and people pine trees, BBQ spots, viewpoints. Quito is really a complete city, where you can also find an English speaking community.

I’m from Ecuador and there was this problem of the robbers and all that. I had to stay in my house for three weeks until going to school was completely safe. But now it’s safe. One thing I recommend is that you stay in rented houses. That’s much better. Also that you rent a car so you can go faster and have more time to do everything you want. And about the energy it happens that the water levels of the hydroelectric which gives us energy are very low. So they are rationing the electricity. So what they are doing is that they are throwing dry ice to the clouds so it can rain and we can have electricity

Was in Quito 2 (and a bit) years ago with my husband and 3 months old son. Two teenagers came to us, touched us and tried to rob us when we walked in a big street during the day with a stroller and our sleeping son. This was near our hotel. We didn't had any jewellery, phones or anything valuable. We shouted and pushed them away. Other people watched and the two teenagers run away. It was definitly not cool but we didn't felt unsave. We saw this as an incident as the rest of the people that we met were so kind. It was just a few months after Covid when Ecuador opened the country and we felt sorry for the teenagers.. They must have had a though time. We would definitly go there again and especially to the Galapagos! ❤

After 4 weeks here in Quito so far I'd say it depends a lot on the area. You can walk around at night in many areas, even in some of the unsafer ones (still risky, but...) -- you just have to make sure to stay at the avenues where you have traffic and space to escape, and you have to be very aware of your surroundings, and obviously avoid empty streets and all of the parks, the parks are the most dangerous. This is for the night, at daytime the parks are too nice Areas where I would not walk around at night are La Mariscal (at least not in the smaller streets, I did it, because I live there, but it's not safe at all, only by taxi), San Roque (probably not even at daytime), Centro histórico ... I'm pretty sure there are more which I'm not aware of. In general, the northern part of the center seems relatively safe compared to the south, and there are even areas where you will see people walking around at 10pm without any worries, taking their dogs out or whatnot, so... Also always use an officially registered taxi, their registration number is outside at the door and the front window, it's a blue label, can be hard to spot at night when they are driving by quickly, but you could also call one by phone. Apparently there are many fake taxis around who look like perfectly normal yellow cabs, but could assault you, so this is very important Apart from that I must say, Ecuadorians and Quiteños are some of the nicest people I came across, love it here 🇪🇨 🇪🇨 🇪🇨

Simply because I cannot tolerate anything just remotely 'smelling' of the old Colonial's ongoing slavery.. Please enjoy beautiful. Ecuador and, her equally wonderful people 🌹🌹🌹

can you just enjoy ecuador and share to us the beauty and marvels of the country instead of mumming on the country's level of danger and atrocities of some people towards tourists and to their own fellow ecuadorians?
