The water is absolutely drinkable/potable in a large part of Ecuador. Less so to the West, beach areas.

Thank you for visit may country Ecuador 🇪🇨

The Galapagos are quite the sight, hope you can visit, although pricey in the end, it’s quite worth it. We were lucky to visit in July during our vacation to Ec. Enjoy!

Don't miss Cuena, known as the Athens of Ecuador, and Loja the cultural and music center of the country. The tap water in Cuenca, Loja, and Vilcabamba, all in the southern sierra, is very drinkable. In fact, the water from Podocarpus (the national park between Loja and Vilcabamba is bottled, and sold all over South America. There are two bottling plants outside Vilcabamba.

Exelente video reseña para conocer lugares mágicos en ecuador

[JenniferYaxley]

Such great info. I think people have certain stigmas about South America that we hear on news or whatever, great to hear from someone there how amazing it is. Thanks for all the info, very helpful.

[larrypicard]

Great video but the tap water in Cuenca is safe to drink.

[hendrys]

Guayaquil is beautiful, you have to visit it, don't listen to people. There is crime all over the world. We are very fortunate here in that unlike North America,
we don't have to worry about school shootings mall shootings, car jacking,
home invasions etc...Hope that helps and have a great day!

[dianamayfield]

In the Southern Andes - Cuenca, south to Loja, and Vilcabamba, the water is clean, In fact, Vilcabamba has two bottling companies and the water is sold all over S America...

[nvqswan]

Good info…wish I knew some of this info when I visited Ecuador!

[drthremes]

Awesome info thanks! Was just watching a video before this about an underground cave system in Ecuador that houses an ancient "metal library" which seems super cool and there seems to be at least one group of explorers with pure intentions trying to figure out the mystery. Very interesting stuff.

[TommyGee.]

I'm going to Ecuador in 10 days with World Challenge, we'll be there for a month - our itinerary includes a wide range of places + activities, but I'm genuinely scared for when we visit Guayaquil...

[danielforberg]

Great video! South America has been on my bucket list of places to travel. I will have to add Ecuador to the list of places to visit if I ever make it down there.

[dianamayfield]

One can drink the tap water in Cuenca and south to Loja & Vilcabamba. Also, if you have a Charles Schwab debit card all ATM fees are refunded.
