Ecuador

Travelers should assess security risks in Ecuador before going

As of August 2026, the US Department of State issued a Level 2 travel advisory for Ecuador, advising travelers to exercise increased caution due to risks of crime and kidnapping. Several areas in Guayaquil, Esmeraldas, and Los Rios are under Level 4 warnings. Those planning to visit should consider the risks associated with high crime rates and decide if a trip is worth it or to postpone until improvements are seen.
