Hey fellow adventurers! This month we’ll be talking about Ecuador! I’m really excited about this month! This is another country that I’ve visited, and unlike the other countries I’ve visited, I visited Ecuador when I was an adult. So let’s start talking about Ecuador!
Ecuador
Flag of Ecuador
Name: República del Ecuador (Republic of Ecuador)
Nationality: Ecuadorian

Ecuador is a country in northwestern South America with the equator running through the country. It’s bordered by the Pacific Ocean, Columbia and Peru. If you go to the equator in Ecuador, the water will fall differently than it will north or south of the equator. And they do demonstrations of draining water from a tub to show tourists how the water drains at different parts of the equator. Here’s a video of it (it’s something you should see if you haven’t):
Ecuador is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. The most famous part of Ecuador is probably the Galapagos which is a huge supporter of eco-tourism. When I went to Ecuador, I spent most of the time on a cruise ship in the Galapagos. It was a lot of fun! The Galapagos is beautiful!
However, crime is a serious problem in Ecuador. Limited police and judicial resources contribute to low arrest rates and a high crime rate. Theft, especially pickpocketing, is the most common type of crime when it comes to U.S. tourists. That said, violent and sexual crimes are on the rise, even in large tourist areas. When I went to Ecuador four years ago, our tourist guide and the hotel we stayed at, highly advised against stepping foot outside the hotel or walking too far away from the tourist guide when we go outside. I was told that I shouldn’t even walk down the street. I couldn’t step one foot outside the hotel by myself. Something else I had to get used to was paying for using public restrooms, and not being able to flush the toilet paper. I’m pretty sure Mexico, which I also wrote about this year, is the same way.
That’s it for today’s blog. Thank you so much for reading! Until our next adventure!
Wow that was strange. I just wrote an extremely long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyways, just wanted to say superb blog!
Aw, this was a really good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to generate a great article… but what can I say… I hesitate a lot and never seem to get anything done.
May I just say what a relief to find someone who really knows what they’re discussing online. You definitely realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. A lot more people should look at this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised that you aren’t more popular since you surely have the gift.
