ecuador vs colombia visit

If you want to ranch out in a almost jungle area and ride horses, you can find that in Ecuador. Dont want to get mugged or robbed. My exerience is that most things made in Ecuador are of very poor quality and do not last. The quality of life can be great. You want to say that Guayaquil is unsafe, please it doesn’t scratch the surface to that of Rio, Medellin, and Bogota lack of safety. The Ecuadorian Amazon is one of my top places to visit. I didn’t have to worry about currency translation. Every main plaza in Latin America (and around the world) seems to have a McDonald’s and other American restaurants. This for a very good reason. Did I do anything stupid like walk around late night, get drunk in bar, wear scanty clothes? AND it is not cheap. Took my time to read about this “article” and by fair the most disturbing one. Won’t be replying any more to your comments. I’ve spent 3 weeks visiting the Ecuadorian amazon, andes & coastline. Thanks for the comment Byron I appreciate it. Mcgyver?

If you want a genuine latin mass you got it all over the place. The Chinese were not investing in the country years ago when the Americans were. I am pretty sure there is really good people there but sadly, some people give the country bad reputation. Now, I will agree that it is hard to find pleasure while being in a city such as Quito and Guayaquil. Ecuador The only snow-capped volcano on the Equator? Otavalo, Cuenca, Banos, Pappallacta, Mindo are great places. Although I only spent 6 weeks in Ecuador, I must from my experience, agree with Marcello. Very sad experience. But for Marcello, 4 days will not give you the experience to enjoy Ecuador. So i need to know which places i should stay in between to break up the trip and see the natural scenory, tours etc. Thanks for sharing your experience. I emphasise they are out views though. Over 5 taxis that I took confirmed that roughly 50% of the taxis in the city are illegal. I could also to sit on a beach and do nothing for some weeks if there is nothing to do..After reading your blog I have cancelled my trip to the Atacama desert—–not worth my life. I lived in Quito for months as a teenager and never had a problem. Ecuador is way behind in terms of economy and the governemt is highly anti-business. If you like to surf and party your face off, take the air-conditioned bus to Montanita, which hosts international surfing competitions and where people party until the sun rises.

And allthough i have latin roots myself, also people tried to rob me. I’ve been there, but don’t go to the favelas unless you have a good reason to go there. We’re heading to Quito next, and then to Medellin, so it will be interesting to see if we have the same experience as you did! Even the UN and UNASUR have their HQ here. What, specifically, makes Medellin a better choice? Some people here are mentioning that downtown Quito is worth visiting because it have won some prizes. Marcello, you need to come back to Ecuador and let me show you around. That said, the weather in these two cities is not the same. An officer extorted money from us, making it very clear we would not be allowed to leave until he was given something. How can you say Medellin is better than Cuenca if you haven’t been to Cuenca? Ecuadorians are shits and they talk very loud. You can go from the beach to the Amazon or the Andean mountains in a cheap, few-hours trip, which could come in handy for people traveling on a shoestring, IMO. I think there are something like 40+ ancient churches in this Barrio, Quito Antiquo. Well, you could say the same thing about Asia, Africa and Europe thinking like that. I actually would beg to differ Kerry. My point is that bad things can happen anywhere. That is your reality, your experience. If anything NYC and Toronto are similar but I wouldn’t put London in that same category. If you are gonna be visiting countries and writing reviews about them, I recommend you do it right and travel a for a proper number of days before spitting out your poor view about a place. The cultural scene in Medellín is similar to that in Cuenca. Just because Ecuadorian internationals in S. Korea act like that, it doesnt mean we are all mean and disrespectful. In Quito I believe your experience is too limited as well, Quito was the first city in Latin America to be declared World Heritage by UNESCO as it has the best preserved colonial centre in Latin America. And no, 4 days plus talking to a bunch of locals… Wont do it my friend. Stay away from those areas and all will be well. what going on here ladies and gentleman ,i believe you need to have the adventurous spirit to enjoy life in South America countries,mister marcelo you spend 4 days and got yourself a booboo and now are complaining about it,if you can not even enjoy something new,and experience the way of life of any country,simply stay home pal ,nobody is gonna miss you,and leave that to the ones that really and truly have those adventures and memories. I have being on United States for one week and even there I din not feel safe at all, in these days any place is dangerous, now you are saying Guayaquil is dangerous because you just hear some comentaries so then I can say Colombia is dangerous because I had heard the same comentaries coming from the people, you can judge a place just basing in others opinions. Culturally, the Mama Negra festival in Latacunga was one of the best street parties ever! American/U.S. But there isn’t anything outside of Galapagos that can’t be done in Colombia, Peru, or even Bolivia. No, I do not walk with an expensive smart phone on the street, especially not at night but I would not even do that in my small hometown in The Netherlands. I have a Colombian girl friend who lives with me in Manta, she feels safer here than in Cali, Colombia, but she misses the Colombian people who are more friendly according to her. I know you are very knowledgeable and have traveled very extensible,that being said I really feel that you really didn’t portray Ecuador the way it should of been portrayed. Guayaquil is very interesting if visited with the right people, I.e. Look don’t take me wrong, I’m Ecuadorean and I love my country but this place is turning into Venezuela. So Paul you must mean that the locals that I discussed this with are ignorant.. they surely would have more expertise than any traveler. I won’t go into too much detail about how I feel, but your post echoes some of my opinions. Yes, many people were very friendly, but there was a not insignificant number who were very quick to attempt to rip me off, and intimidate me. Needless to say, I love the Philippines. And also just so you know, since the country decided to knowingly default on their debt, the only country willing to finance Ecuador is China, which has nothing to do with trading, but rather financing and economic meddeling, which is a whole different story.
