Current pricing for Ecuador:

Short Time: Budget $30-63, Mid $72-191, Premium $172+
Long Time/Overnight: $173-395
Massage with extras: $28-108

These are approximate ranges as of early 2026. Prices vary by area, provider quality, and negotiation. Online bookings are generally cheaper than walk-ins.

Tipping is optional but earns you better service.

Best value: early evening before the rush.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The quality is what keeps me coming back.

I was there in March and prices were great value. Spent about $100/day all-in.

My tip: avoid weekends.

Been going for years. Scene has shifted a bit but still good.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.
