📣 Traveler notes

Ecuador is in northwestern South America on the Equator. Key sites like Quito and Cuenca are in the Andean region and are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The country features active volcanoes, including Cotopaxi.

  • Dress warmly in the mountainous Sierra region (including Quito).
  • Wear more casual attire on the coast.
  • Use formal Spanish address (usted) when speaking to those you do not know or older people.
  • Use appropriate Spanish greetings (e.g., "buenos días," "buenas tardes"). When unsure, use the formal pronoun "usted." In the Sierra region, use designated hand gestures for measuring height or indicating proximity.
