Yes! Safety is, by far, our number one priority when we choose a location for our trips. We are keenly aware of the intense trust that is placed in us to provide a safe and life changing experience for your child. As parents of three children, we do not take that trust lightly. Because of this, we will never take your child to a place that we have not taken our own children and personally vetted from top to bottom.
Ecuador has a similar safety rating to the United States, according to the Global Peace Index. There are geographical areas of Ecuador that have higher crime rates, so we do not travel to those areas. The most common forms of danger that tourists encounter are pickpocketing and robbery. Our group avoids walking at night, we do not use public transportation in Ecuador, and have many other systems in place to maintain the safety of our group.
