Solo travel experience
The only place that felt a little sketchy was Quito. I made sure to go out with people from my hostel (not alone) and never had any problems. Baños de Agua Santa and Cuenca felt very safe.

Ecuador is an underrated gem in the west of South America. It beholds giant waterfalls, thrilling hikes, delicious cuisines and the kindest people. It has unfortunately experienced a lot of civil conflict, hence it being a less popular option, but I would have regretted not spending a month here. I can't wait to go back, so much of my heart lies here.

I went on a trip to Ecuador and loved every minute of it. I went to Quito, the Amazonia, the Galapagos, and Guayaquil. There were so many unique and interesting things to experience in every place. The Galapagos was the highlight.

TravelHas anyone booked boat tours to the Galapagos Islands once they are in Ecuador?
Hi, we are travelling in Colombia and Ecuador for three months in early 2023 and really want to do a cruise to the Galapagos Islands. The prices online look so expensive, has anyone booked boat tours once they are in Ecuador and are they any cheaper? any recommendations of boat companies or other tips welcome.
