Ecuador safety
Nov
20
2011
I understand that the south part of the country has been troubled with more crime than the middle and northern areas. I am particularly interested in safety in the rural areas, as I will be looking for acreage near Cuenca or Cotacachi, or other city away from the coast. Is it safe for a single person (woman) in the country?

I feel that yes, it is safe for a women in Ecuador. The men hiss a bit but are not nearly as agressive and forward as they are in other Latin countries, plus you re probably taller than most of them.
Id come down and gauge for yourself, Dom
