Visited Ecuador for 12 days. Great experience. Scene is improved. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $73/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 9/10. Would return.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $64/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: avoid weekends.

The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.
