Stay well protected during your trip to Ecuador
During your trip to Ecuador, it is wise to pay attention to a few health concerns. Mosquitoes are prevalent in parts of the country and can transmit diseases. It is therefore a good idea to use insect repellent with DEET and wear light, long clothing. In some areas, such as eastern Ecuador, it may be necessary to bring malaria medication. We are happy to look at your travel plans to advise you on this. It is also smart to drink only bottled water and take great care that food is properly heated.
If you are travelling to higher areas, for example Quito, you may need some time to get used to the altitude. Taking it easy and drinking enough water then often helps a lot. This will help you stay fit and enjoy your trip to the full.
