Ecuador information and travel advice from Smart Traveller

Exercise caution and monitor developments that might affect your safety in Ecuador because of the risk of crime, civil unrest and the general threat of domestic terrorism.
Pay close attention to your personal security and monitor the media for information about possible new safety or security risks.

Protests and demonstrations are frequent in Ecuador. You should avoid public demonstrations and large public gatherings throughout Ecuador as they may become violent.

The Tungurahua volcano in central Ecuador is active and Ecuadorian authorities have forbidden access to it. See the Natural Disasters and Health Issues sections below for further advice.
You are advised not to travel to Carchi, Orellana, Sucumbios and Napo provinces in north-eastern Ecuador bordering Colombia and Peru. There is a high threat of terrorist and serious criminal activity in these provinces.
