How safe is Ecuador for travel?
Uncover Essential Tips & Recommendations for Tourists!"

Ecuador, with its diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage, is a captivating destination for tourists. While the country is generally safe, it’s essential for visitors to follow some general caution tips, just as they would in any other destination, especially while safety in our country is a matter of major concern overseas. In this blog post, we’ll provide some travel advice regarding the most common issues like pickpocketing, and highlight a boutique hotel, ‚Old Town Quito Suites,‘ as a prime choice for a secure and enjoyable stay in Quito.

Is Ecuador safe?
Yes, it is. However, it’s crucial for tourists to adhere to essential caution measurements. Cities like Quito, Guayaquil, and Cuenca offer outstanding experiences, attracting visitors exploring the Galapagos, rainforests, or neighboring countries.
In Ecuadorian cities, common issues include pickpocketing and petty robbery. Like any metropolis, newcomers may be targeted. Yet, these concerns are no different than those in major cities like London or New York.

Quito and Guayaquil, known for their rich culture, nightlife, and historical significance, are often on travelers‘ itineraries, but these are also densily populated cities, which may be a reason strong enough for both local and foreign tourists to become a target of „sketchy“ people. This is why we present you a few tips and travel advice to keep in mind while visiting these cities:

  1. Be aware of your surroundings and keep belongings secure.
  2. Use reputable transportation options.
  3. Avoid poorly lit or unfamiliar areas at night.
  4. Stay informed about local security measurements and follow guidelines.

Our country offers a unique blend of experiences, and with basic precautions, tourists can explore its wonders safely.

Lieber geschätzter Gast,

Im Gegensatz zu den etwas übertriebenen Berichten der letzten Zeit beschränken sich die Sicherheitsbedenken in Ecuador hauptsächlich auf einige Orte in der Küstenregion. Die Gebiete im Landesinneren, darunter Quito, das Hochland, der Amazonas und die Galapagos-Inseln, sind nicht betroffen, Tourismus, Verkehr und Sicherheit funktionieren wie gewohnt Ecuador heißt Sie willkommen.

Herzliche Grüße,
Dirk Van den Begin, Eigentümer Old Town Quito Suites
