    I just came back from Ecuador & all of your videos had me very well prepared- thank you so much! Another thing to know is how much they take COVID seriously. I was sprayed with santizer (yes- fully body sprayed) before entering several places (anything from churches to kayaking!). If they didn't full body spray me, every place sanitized my hands before I get in and after I left. Temperature checks everywhere as well. Everyone wearing masks everywhere- a stark contrast from the US (at least where I am in the US). I had a wonderful time & couldn't recommend Ecuador more!
  • @matthewnguyen7927
    Thank you for this !! Going to Ecuador solo. On the 1st of October !
  • @sciencefan2019
    There are a few places you can drink the water. Cuenca and Vilcabamba both have excellent water better than the U.S. Was in Cuenca for 3 weeks and had no problems.

    The tap water in Quito and Sangolqui is fine. My fiance is Ecuadorian and I've been to Ecuador for a total of a month. Mindo to Esmeraldas? Tia is your friend. It was mine and where I got my food and water. Found out about that in both places the hard way. Altitude didn't affect me, except Pichincha, but then you can see Quito from above from there. I stay at a really nice, family owned/operated hostel for $15 a night. The advantage of having a friend, relative, fiance (Haha) is they know where everything is. I get to see more than with a tourist guide, which is expensive. My fiance and her family hate Cuy. Try the ice cream/Helado shops. Not mentioned in this video. Also Chochos, Mora y Morocho are very good as well. And the bread shops. Best bread I've ever had!

    I went on a Galapagos cruise in 1992- loved every second of it . At the time tourist totals were 90,000 tourists per year to protect the envoronment! So glad I went!

    Ecuador is the heart of the planet! It is blessed land!
  • @ahawkuafie
    I love your videos. They make me want to get out and see the world. Thank you so much.
  • @gdaholic
    This is the best tour prep video ever. Doesn’t spoil surprises but keeps you prepared.
  • @michaelbrown5768
    I don't know about most of Ecuador, but the water in Cuenca and Vilcabamba is drinkable from the tap.
  • @Fer1883
    Thank you for promoting and being so Honest with your visit to my beautiful country. I really liked your videos
  • @larrypicard8802
    Well you can drink the tap water in Cuenca. I’ve been living here for two months with no problems. It comes directly from the Cajas. I’m sure it’s treated somehow but it’s fine to drink. Also be VERY careful as a pedestrian. If not there’s a good chance you’ll be injured.
  • @jimmylopez5209
