How dangerous is it in Ecuador?
Crime is also a problem in this South American country, but if you follow some safety advice you should be as safe as in every big European city. (Nevertheless) in the bigger cities, at touristic attractions and in public transport theft and robberies are not uncommon. Therefore you should always have an eye on your bags and valuables. Do not flash your jewelry, cameras and watches. Once it’s dark you should always use a taxi, even for short distances.
