Un tour d'Amérique du Sud
Visite de Baracoa premiere citee coloniale de Cuba :
Son "malecon", son musee archeologique, son musee historique.
L apres midi nous nous rendons sur la plage situee a 17 km plus au nord est.
Apres un bain dans la riviere voisine, nous revenons a la plage pour manger notre premiere langouste. Un morceau ENORME, incroyable festin …
Enfin nous reprenons la route en direction de Mayari toujours plus au Nord est.
Comme a notre nouvelle habitude nous dormons a la belle.

Bruce I've been to Ecuador twice and traveled there elvxnsiteey. If you travel smart and are aware of your surroundings, I don't believe it is dangerous. Of course, you have to be aware, especially of pick pocketers (and in Quito many young street children are the worst) so just make sure you keep your money and valuables close to you.I heard a few stories of people being held up, but all of those people were carrying too much (one for instance had 4 cell phone and 2 cameras). Someone mentioned blending in and not wearing anything too flashy, that is good advice. In the time I spent there (over 2 months) I did hear of one story that occurred on the Columbian-Ecuador border, where rebels boarded a bus and robbed the riders. This is not meant to scare you from traveling Ecuador, as all of my experiences were WONDERFUL! I just wanted to give you all of the info I had.Some things that would make your travels safer and easier:Be able to speak some SpanishDo not walk alone at nightTravel by taxis at night (especially in the cities)Keep your valuables secure, but do not carry more than what is necessaryWalk around with your head up and confidentlyMost of all, enjoy the beautiful place that is Ecuador, there are so many beautiful things to see and experience and Ecuadorians are such wonderful people.

Koiess Ecuador is safe, the stories you hear in the trvael books I found them to be a bit more then what you are really going to experience, i was there last year for 5 weeks and going again in three weeks, just be aware be smart and you should be fine , most crime in ecuador is of the none violent type meaning pick pocket, cameras stollen from bag ect . have a good time in one of the most beautiful country in the world .ren Was this answer helpful?
