Safety Tips When Travelling to Ecuador

- Keep a close eye if you are carrying big backpacks, expensive smartphones and DSLR cameras. Though crime rates in Ecuador are negligible, tourists have sometimes experienced petty crimes like phone snatchers, pickpockets, etc.
- Avoid roaming or visiting areas that have a negative reputation. For example, it is preferable not to visit the Columbia-Ecuador border as there are specific travel restrictions that tourists must abide by.
- As you are new to the country, avoid roaming around alone in the dark. In case you need to travel to another at night, take the hotel's assistance to book a cab.
- Ecuador lies in the infamous Ring of Fire. This means you can experience earthquakes or volcanic eruptions at any time during your stay in Ecuador. Keep a check on weather updates and regulations.
- While you are travelling to Ecuador, getting travel insurance and specific vaccinations becomes essential. It is advisable to get vaccinations for diseases like hepatitis A/B and tetanus based on the destinations you will be travelling to.
- Moreover, purchasing travel insurance will protect your finances as it will cover unexpected expenses like medical treatments and cancellation of hotels, etc.
