OK, this one is now tricky compared to years past.
Now, if you go to immigration and ask to extend your 90 day standard tourist visa…they’ll tell you you can’t!
In fact, you can, but with the help of a knowledgable lawyer… who will proceed to get you the 9-II 6 month tourist visa.
Or, you can do like most do and leave Ecuador to a nearby country for a day or two and re-enter…getting a fresh 3 months (but you can only be in the country for a total of 6 months as a tourist in a calendar year).
hope that helps, Dom

Good question. One way available to some is have it delivered to a friend, then have that friend DHL it to your Ecuador address.
If that’s not possible, you could go to one of the many small freight forwarding and customs agent offices surrounding the airport in Quito, or to a lesser extent in Cuenca.
There, they give you the address of their PO Box in Miami (most of these agencies have one) … then you will proceed to get your mail delivered there and once in their PO Box in Miami it will be automatically forwarded to their offices in Ecuador. With the PO Box, they provide you email subscription with the PDF attachment. They also provide you a facility in Ecudor to open the images of the PDF into image format by converting them into JPG. Here by attached with a detail guide of 3rd party collaboration for converting and understanding how do you convert a pdf to a jpg.
The cost usually varies depending on the size and weight of the package…To give you an idea, I recently paid around $60 to receive a cell phone this way…

Ecuador is blessed with an all in all low humidity atmosphere…but there are a few spots to avoid if you hate humidity!
The most humid places I have been in Ecuador are Portoviejo (near Manta) and the city of Machala in the south near Peru. You can cut the humidity with a knife there…
To a slightly lesser extent, Guayaquil is humid. Also, any place in the eastern third (Amazon region) of the country is best avoided for living purposes if humidity is not your thing.
Thankfully, almost the entire coast of Ecuador is blessed by constant trade winds and very mild (almost cool at night) temperatures.
The Andes region is dry and comfortable, but it does have its peaks and valleys.
