Hi there,
We’re planning a trip to Central America and South America, but we’re still unsure about the destination.
It’s for a trip in July 2025, so weather is definitely a factor.
For Ecuador, the weather seems favorable, but my wife knows an Ecuadorian woman who told her that the security situation has really deteriorated, especially on the west side (beaches, etc.).
Has anyone traveled to Ecuador recently (in 2025) and could share their experience? (security situation, recommended itineraries)
In terms of things to see (typical villages, landscapes), weather, and prices, Ecuador seems more appealing to us than Costa Rica or Panama, which we’re also considering.
