Is Ecuador still safe?
-
Just wondering if Ecuador is still safe as all the political uprisings and drug cartels I've been hearing about are doing some stuff , but also heard that if your not on the water, you don't need to worry much unless your genuinely stupid. Can anyone elaborate on this, as I still like Ecuador for several reasons.

Hi Kurt, I love Ecuador and have lived there off and on for many years over the last two decades. I have lots of friends there, primarily in Cotacachi and Cuenca (in the Sierras, yes) who report they feel very safe. I am looking to get back there perhaps in February and I am not concerned. I think things have settled down a lot since the issues of two years ago. I have friends with young kids who live in Cotacachi who regularly vacation on the coast without concern. I guess it all depends on your personal level of comfort but for me, I would feel safe in most of the country right now.
