Has anyone been to Ecuador recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips
I was there last year and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

Did you use freelancers or find girls at the hotel?

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.
