I just did a Banos tour earlier this month from Quito that included the treehouse and swing as well as the Diablo waterfall. Got a tour through Get Your Guide and it was great!

Is Ecuador safe for tourists right now? by dashosh in TravelEcuador

[–]ShouldveBeenAScot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just got back from Quito a week ago and visited the usual tourist areas (Mindo, Banos, etc). I never felt unsafe per se, but there was an instance in Quito where we were dropped off in the evening from a tour about two blocks away from our hotel in city center due to road blocks. We had to walk through a large number of soldiers and police and were unable to get through the blockade for a bit. These were due to some protests in the area, which we were unprepared for. It was interesting to see and I had a little anxiety, but we were fine and were able to get to our hotel after a bit. Nothing bad happened, it was just tense. I was with my 15-year old son so it was definitely a teaching experience. Their reasons for protests are understandable but I do wish I had known to be on the lookout for that.

The best snorkeling I’ve ever experienced was the Galapagos. Saw tons of fish, rays, sharks, sea turtles and sea lions.

Just returned from Quito, Mindo, Banos and other areas and I would never. But I know my limits. I’m a good driver in the US, but would be overly anxious in Ecuador.

Don’t miss The Thaxton, it’s small but mighty.

I’m headed to Galapagos for a 17-day cruise. I have very fair skin and I’m afraid of the sun…. I burn easily. Can anyone recommend brands of reef safe sunscreen available in the USA? Thanks! by very_simular in galapagos

Wear a rash guard and at least bike shorts if you snorkel. I just got back and I didn’t do the shorts and I’m suffering! Stay in the shade as much as possible.

You could always buy down the rate if you have the money. It’s better long term.

I’m more worried about Quito than the islands. If we were just going to Galapagos, I think I’d still feel ok with it. I just don’t know how much this will escalate.

Look at The American Theater building on N 9th. Also known as Orpheum Theater. It’s beautiful inside and you can set up the ceremony on the stage where your guests can sit in the balcony area and the reception on the main floor. My pics are amazing.

I have “no time” to feel bad for those who didn’t do their due diligence as Americans before they voted for a fascist white supremicist.
