Drunk driving is measured at .08 mg/ml but there are greater hazards from local drivers who seem to think lanes only belong in bowling alleys.

Advisories and Warnings

Public transportation is considered somewhat unpleasant in Ecuador due to petty thefts so if you wish to travel around the country it is advisable to rent a car.

Stay away from the Colombian border (kidnappings) and the northern border (land mines), and things should work out for you unless, of course, one of the nine active volcanoes decides to erupt while you're there.
