TRIP FILE DATA
The Galápagos are the reason most people come and they are a separate trip, with their own flight and their own rules. But mainland Ecuador is the size of Ecuador: Quito at 2,850 metres, volcanoes in a row, and the Amazon four hours down the road.

Travel notes for Ecuador
EC / FIELD NOTESData the moment you land
Skip roaming charges and airport-SIM queues: an Ozu eSIM installs before you fly and switches on the second you land. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. It runs on local networks, so there’s no bill shock when you get home.
Timing your trip
Ecuador doesn’t have four seasons, it has two: dry and wet. The temperature barely moves all year, and what decides the trip is the rain, not the thermometer.
Paying your way
Read your card’s small print before you go: many charge a fee on every purchase in another currency, and it piles up where you don’t see it. Carry a second card in a different pocket too: the day the first one gets blocked, you’ll want a plan B.
Documents & cover
Passport validity is the silliest thing that ruins trips, and the most common: plenty of countries want months left on it, not days, and it gets checked at the airline desk, not on arrival. Look at it today, not the week you fly.
Getting understood
Numbers are what get misunderstood most: prices, times, platform numbers. Have them written or typed rather than spoken, and repeat them back before you agree to anything.
