Traveler Reviews of Ecuador

Nice country, bad roads

Rating: 75%

There are so many things to do, but if you want to get to them, you really need a 4x4.

Best place ever!!

Rating: 100%

I just came back from a 2 month trip to South America and Ecuador was the highlight of out trip. My boyfriend and I think that this is just an amazing country to visit. We are from Norway but lived in the States for couple of years, and we found Ecuador to be an especially great experience.

Rating: 100%
