That is crazy. I was in Quito for about 6 weeks during Covid. I didn't really come across any issues, except with one Airbnb host who thought he was Rocky. 😆

A lot of people I spoke to there warned me about leaving my Mrs alone anywhere. Even when she stopped to take a photo, a guy ran out of a restaurant to tell me to go back to her as I was too far away (about 20 feet). Maybe they've seen some shit.

Galapagos was pretty cool. Apart from revisiting Galapagos, I don't think I'd go back to Ecuador. What about you guys?

I spent a few weeks in Quito, and the surrounding area, last year. Half the time I had local friends with me, but even without that, I felt quite safe. I didn't have a single tricky situation, and wouldn't say I was very careful either.

In general, the Ecuadorian people were extremely welcoming and warm to me. I think as long as you can pull off "hunter eyes" and have a few Spanish jokes in your repertoire, noone will really mess with you.

I will say though, I met countless people who shared stories with me about what had happened to them (gun-point robberies, car break-ins, scopolamine). So definitely not a place to fck around carelessly.

I would go back tomorrow loved it there. Galapagos I didn't have chance to visit because covid you needed loads of tests and 2 transfer companies said you had to have the valine so sacked it off. I would also go back to spend a week in the Amazon I found s guy who has family living there. But yea I would go back would prob Group it with Brazil or Peru

scopolamine I just don't believe it. Half of it is people getting pissed up. 1 quater of it is people slipping sedatives in your drink and the last quater is people just bullshitting. Can u imagine if there was a dog that was out there that made people that did anything u wanted. I would love to be proven wrong but it's bull crap in my opinion. Yes the drug exists but the stories are just way to funny. 1 guy helps a criminal gang to move all his stuff out of his house lol

The whole scopolamine thing always struck me as somewhat of a fairytale too, I have never seen any reliable information or evidence related to that drug and its effects on the human body/mind. In the remote past I have had plenty of experience with plenty of drugs, so I am not worried about that sort of thing other than keeping a close eye on my drink when in unfamiliar company. It got famous from Vice, who since have become notorious for printing grossly sensationalised nonsense.

A friend came back recently he is convinced its Rohypnol. I went Poland with the lads had
Rohypnol in this bar that turned out to be a strio club swear that's what happens. U go into a bar free Vodka next thing women come out here we go 😂😂
