Ecuador after the Crisis - First Impressions 🇪🇨

- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Ecuador was placed into a state of emergency just 3 weeks ago. Almost all the travelers I have met on my trip so far have said they cancelled their plans to go. I decided not to.
I will be exploring Ecuador for the next few weeks and see what the country is experiencing.

Ecuador is a beautiful country. Thank you for visiting us!!!
u live there?
@@BibleSamurai yes I do live here in Quito.
@@patriciamaldonado5630 you feel safe or feel like you need to escape?
@@BibleSamuraiI was born there and it was safe but when I recently went back it’s so unsafe now. There was so many plateless cars with robbers hiding under trees and stuff waiting to rob from unsuspecting people coming from the airport. We came at night and went upstairs to the departure area to avoid getting spotted by the robbers who were spotted.
Prayers for Ecuador 🩷🙏
I miss you Ecuador, I love your food, your people and your nature. 🇪🇨
The people of Ecuador are so nice! 🇪🇨❤
The women at 28:10 !!!!!😂
Yup, planning a trip to ecuador 😎
Ive Liked and Subscribed! Watched almost all your videos and am rooting for you, you deserve more audience. Keep it up!!
Thank you! We've got a lot left of South America to see so many more videos to come.
I've lived here 25 years. You stay away from drugs you don't have a problem
Quito isn’t that bad, most mayhem is in the coast. Everything has definitely calmed this year though.
ECUADOR 🇪🇨 PARAÍSO
It's like investing in the stock market.
Buy low...sell high.
Take a chance and reap the rewards.
I'm leaving the U.S. and going to either Ecuador, or Mexico.
which country you leaning on? Its Ecuador or CR for us.
Did you go, if you to Ecuadorian airport and you arrive at night you need to watching out and have someone pick you up from the departure area because near the arrival area there’s so many robbers with platless cars and stuff hiding behind trees. Our driver told us literally the people who help carry your luggage outside tell the robbers about people coming outside
@@primebarca7811 I work an industry that relies on Quito's Airport. I bring in merchandise through this sector. I honestly don't know how you can deduce that idea. The airport in Quito is probably safer than most areas in Ecuador. I personally used to be there day and night and even after midnight. I enjoyed Johnny Rockets burgers, KFC, etc at the airport. Five minutes away from the airport there's a 3 star hotel Wyndham that is completely new and well placed. The taxi service is monitored. Also you are forced to pay $2 to enter the airport... no one is just going into these airports. If you don't belong there they will approach you.
Also, also, the dudes that help with your bags are the most friendliest people in Quito. I believe whoever built the airport or manages it wants to ensure the staff is helpful at all times. Also there is police presence there 24/7. I'm sorry but where did you get that information? Oh a driver? what's his name? So I can personally go talk to him.
It’s like any other country. You have to be careful in dangerous zones, it happens in the USA as well. The media and news have increased terror on the eyes of the viewer in a radical way. In real life it feels safe. Obviously, if you know where to move, you’ll be fine.
What Americans seem to ignore or rationalize in some crazy way is the mass shootings vs violence in other countries. . Our mass shootings aren't even happening in as you said "dangerous zones" but in elementary schools and killing innocent children. And they are daily! So while the media broadcasts these violent times in other countries, for some reason it scares Americans when in fact we are all living next to drug cartel hubs- located in every major city! And we forget how many Americans die every day due to gun violence. - and not all in "dangerous zones". We are living the same world as Ecuador, or Mexico.
I had never problems in Guayaquil 😂 but was robbed in Quito day light on busy street while walking with friend. Don’t be ignorant about safety in relatively safe places because you just need one moment to be in bad situation. Some places are safer then others
What, you don’t want hundreds of viewers to tell you it’s dangerous and stupid? As someone who has lived here for over a decade and recently walked through many of the same areas you just walked, we both know that there is a disconnect between the news and reality. It’s not particularly dangerous for a tourist or expat. It is particularly dangerous for anyone mixed up in the drugs trade.
Keep up on the good work and content.
I have a feeling your channel is about to take off.
Thanks man. That means a lot to hear. Hopefully we will take off soon!
Thank you so much for this video. I was going to book a trip with my 15 year old today but after seeing this I’ll wait until things get a little better
How did you take this message away from the video? You’re missing out on the beautiful country of Ecuador.
@@FallofftheMappeople have different standards of safety
I respect you my guy!
The Quito metro looks beautiful, clean and affordable better that the derty expensive $3,25 NY metro. Nice blog, loved it.
Then, why don’t you go back??
Walking around with a camera is not how you assess a place for safety.
El Panecillo area is really dangerous, we never walk there, please, take a taxi if you want to go there.
Nice video.
I’d say be careful around Carolina park too place looks legit and calm but it’s an illusion 😂
I heard the panecillo area is dangerous but the top area has security my guide told me this .said take a car
I was in Carolina park It seemed ok
@@darkslider802 The people saying it's dangerous are citizens. But we tourists (I'm also a citizen) know. We know what dangerous is lol. Yes walking to Panecillo would be silly.. it's far and up a hill. Take a car to get there. Once there it's safe. I've taken plenty of dates there. It's a family setting.
Parque Carolina is safe in my eyes, especially when you're closer to the restaurants area. At midnight it might be different. When I was 13 I would take a bus with 5 friends on skateboards. We would go to the park and skate for HOURS. That's how safe it is in my eyes. We were "the bad example" at the park lmao
Love your vids, keep making them! stay safe brotha.. im going to medellin solo in march!
Stay safe and have fun man!
This video is SO helpful 🎉. Appreciate you sharing
Realmente los gringos, si quieren vivir en Ecuador, por favor: "Aquí se habla idioma español"
Pero es muy recomendable aprender ingles
@@Kalamardo2010 Lo digo porque es bueno tener a extranjeros hablando en español. Yo hablo en inglés y estoy certificado. No es por molestar a nadie, pero considero que si vas a viajar a Latinoamérica es importante aprender su cultura y hablar en su idioma. Te envío un gran abrazo.
@@pedrez79 De hecho, a muchos gringos no les gusta que los que viven en EEUU no hablen inglés. El mismo principio debe aplicarse por igual en otras partes.
Oh my dude, walking up to the Panecillo is super dangerous. One of the most dangerous areas of Quito.
Ya no es cierto, la gente que vive en ese lugar se ha organizado y cuidan de los turistas y tienen guías y restaurantes muy buenos y caros.
@@moniduran7587 Es bueno que la gente se esté organizando para mejorar el barrio. Sin embargo, todavía no caminaría hasta allí porque hay que pasar por algunas zonas que no son nada seguras.
@@FallofftheMap Some areas can be rough. My cousin was a marine.. they knew him by name in that area.. and that's not flexing. He consumed drugs lol. So it's not the BEST area but my marine cousin would walk there like he owned the place. So I'm guessing it's gotten better?? I would still drive though lol. I've seen some of the dudes out there. I usually am not scared of people because I know what South Orange or Newark New Jersey is like. Ecuador lacks the idea of how bad South Orange is and how lucky Ecuador actually is.
28:09 omg they loveeee you
32:10 and then you gave them the pamphlets SO GOOD
En Ecuador hay lugares seguros y peligrosos como en cualquier parte del mundo, es como decir q en estados unidos en todos los estados van a ingresar locos a ma tar a las personas o q todos se dro guen asi como en los videos q parecen zombis
Lol she asked where you wanted to go and you said your hotel😂 language is so fun
I'm going through Guayaquil to get to Galapagos. I take it the airport is safe. I'm still planning to go to Quito for a few days as well.
The airports are very safe in Ecuador. Walking out of the airport is still safe to me. If you do NOT speak Spanish then that's different. Guayaquil is known for being street smart unlike Quito which is more conservative and humble. So it's up to you if you want to leave the airport and get some REAL FKING GOOD FOOD.
Or just go to Galapagos, it's safer in the islands than most of Ecuador and the food is almost just as good. That's the only con about Galapagos.. the food is second compared to the mainland. If you want good food - Esmeraldas and Manta are the place to be.. but these areas are tricky. I've been to Esmeraldas and the people may remind you of the Bronx or Queens (idk where you're from) but the people behave differently. They are very humble and not ratchet like in USA. Still there is crime in Esmeraldas and I suggest being there with a guide or group.
Nice video, ty. Lemme know dude I could keep you a company and visit San Roque or Comite del Pueblo in the evening if you wanna test Quito for safety a bit :)
Thanks for the video. The crisis is not over. My Ecuador is not what used to be just a decade ago. Still beautiful, just not safe.
Also, don’t get your eyes fixed in Ecuador. I did Lazik in Quito. It was painful and the results were disappointing. And whatever you do, don’t ever get a vasectomy in Ecuador. My idiot doctor started “snipping” immediately after giving me the anesthetic shot, score it had time to work. I’m pretty sure I died that day. That orange was worth 10 cents, maybe 20. You could tell by the tone in their voices that they felt nervous and uncomfortable while they were gringo pricing you.
Who would’ve done either in Ecuador it’s not worth the savings.
if you go to reputable doctors it's good. My sister had Lasik surgery in Cumbaya. She no longer uses glasses and it have been over a decade.
I underwent emergency surgery in Tumbaco with a good doctor. Laparoscopic appendix removal. Cannot say the $2,000 it cost me was not worth it. I feel normal now it's nearing one decade since that incident. You really have to know people out there to get the right service. That's the bad thing about Ecuador.
Welcome !
metro,,,brand new. just opened
The orange was so expensive and this is not the real price in south. Maybe 0,25.
Wow i didn't know there was a metro
Should I move from the U.S. to Ecuador?
Q locura subir solo por el panecillo 😅 es un poco peligroso
สวัสดีค่ะ 🙏💙☘️🌺
Por cincuenta centavos te dan 3 naranjas el doble de grandes
Ni yo sabia eso. La proxima que este en quito voy a ver como estan los precios. Voy usar mi mejor acento quiteno a ver que precio me dicen.
You would have told me that you were here in Quito and I would have gone for a walk with you. I'm already tired of the monotony.
who isn't lol (around the world)
👍👍👍🙏👏👏❤️👏🍀🇮🇹🇪🇨
Hola, estas en el sur, no es el lugar top del turismo, debias ir al centro historico y norte
😅
Quito is safe but you just got robbed for that orange ... no way 1 orange is $0.50 cent, you just got the gringo price
Any way to avoid that? 😅
20 or 40 oranges for a dollar not for one orange 0,50.
Como siempre hablando m.. de Guayaquil en todos los videos q veo "don't go to Guayquil" ...Quito tampoco se escapa a la situación del pais
Guayaquil es la ciudad más peligrosa del país. La gente habla m pq se ha ganado una reputación. Además no tiene nada interesante que ver para los extranjeros.
pero no hay punto de comparación, Quito es muchisimo mas segura que Guayaquil en cualquier momento
Guayaquil no tiene nada de interesante para los turistas extranjeros. Puro centro comercial y pasos a desnivel. Pocas cosas históricas o naturaleza que los impresionen.
@@Kalamardo2010 tenemos mucho q ofrecer talvez no edificios vetustos como los de ustedes y por supuesto q no nos comparamos con Quito, Guayaquil es punto aparte por algo es el puerto principal y el motor económico del pais cuestele a quien le cueste.
Yes. A few places safe...yes...learn Spanish .??🇪🇨
"I've not been here before so, .... I don't think it was like this before." You just got here. YOU'RE going to assess? North Americans come here clutching their purses believing what people like you say, people that don't know what they are talking about. You are making assumptions with no experience.
Quito is safe. The basilica is never full and bustling with people. If you weren't there before, you don't know what you're talking about.
I’m agree
You intentionally put yourself in danger when you decided to enter the country. Just facts
I’ve lived in Cuenca for three years now. We are safe from what’s going on at the coast.
No ,depende de la zona
Quito is absolutely fine, chill. The coast is the only real dangerous place.
