I'm Ecuadorian, I definitely recommend visiting small cities, each one has someting different to offer, like ice-cream, leather, cheese, etc. Make sure you search, you will find some interesting places!
Also, about the tap water, I recommend to always ask. There are cities like Cuenca in whixh you can drink it directly, and others you may want to boil it even for cooking 😅. So ask!

Finally, this is a country that is very prepared for tourism, so don't be afraid to ask anything or to go anywhere! Good luck and welcome 😊

#8 The tap water in Cuenca is the best in all of Latin America. Far-and-away better (in every way) than the water we were used to, in Canada!

My family is from Ecuador, but I never had the chance to visit until some family recently got their papers, and I’ll be going for the first time next month ❤️

These are all great recommendations! Some things I will def say:

- so true about Cotopaxi! Do not go there right away as you need time to acclimatize. It’s very easy to get acute mountain sickness there. The summit of Cotopaxi is at 19, 000ft+ and the refugee start at 14, 000 if I remember. You’ll get a headache quickly if you are not careful.

- I went to Macas and got a fruit salad. I never in my life had stomach problems like I did there. Always drink bottled water and always try to bring some probiotics with you just in case.

Great video! Thank you for sharing!

Im glad I’ve found this channel. I’ve met someone from Guayaquil and we want to travel Ecuador together 😁

[juliebabin]

I agree a lot about small currencies. Even a 20$ is hard to use in tiendas unless you buy for 12$ ;) Taxis and buses are cheap, carry a LOT of 1$, 25c and 5$.

[Honkiavelli]

Great video. I just retired to Olon and everything you said was spot on. Definitely book private transport in advance and ensure that your banking resources are settled prior to arriving. The Ecuadorian people are magnificent and I love their warmth.
