What travelers are saying

"We just returned from a wonderful 3-week trip in Ecuador that included Quito, Amazon jungle, touring down the Andes to Cuenca, and Galapagos cruise. Our travel agent Alvaro did an excellent job helping us plan our trip - he was very knowledgeable, patient, and kind. All our guides were excellent, special shout-out to Christian, Sergio (aka Mike Tyson), and Pablo. Our favorite experiences were the Napo Cultural Center in the Amazon, biking/hiking at the Cotopaxi and Chimborazo volcanoes, and cruising the Galapagos."

Galapagos Discovery

• Get your blood pumping as you scale Sierra Negra Volcano during an epic hike, then cool off with a swim in the perfect waters of Isla Isabela’s beaches.

• Learn about the unique habits of the marine iguana. This dinosaur-like little creature has an iridescent sheen and is only found on the Galapagos Islands.
• Birdwatching at the Galapagos is quite an experience. Watch the aerobatic routines of blue-footed boobies and the death defying stunts of the frigate birds as they whizz through the air.
• This trip combines plenty of must-try activities and islands with generous mounts of free time, so you can explore the Galapagos at your own pace.

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

Ecuador Tour Selection Trips

• Ecuador is so rich in biodiversity and tourist attractions – the Galapagos, the Andes, the Amazon, the colonial cities, the Pacific coast -- that you may need several visits to do the country justice. 
• Taking a week-long Galapagos cruise allows you to see more of the islands and their diverse wildlife than simply staying on one of the two populated islands.
• Many visitors combine Galapagos tours with tours to Machu Picchu in Peru, and many tour operators offer such combinations.
• If your tour takes you to the Amazon basin, look to stay at least three days if possible in a jungle lodge. This not only allows you to get a good taste of the region, but it will increase your chances of seeing certain species, and more animals. 
• Even though Ecuador is on the Equator, pack a jacket if your tour includes high-elevation cities like Quito and Cuenca. In these mountain towns, the temperatures can drop pretty significantly at night.  You might also consider bringing high-altitude medication if you’re really bothered by the rarefied air, but discuss possible side effects with your doctor.

Culture and customs.

About 65 per cent of Ecuadorians have a mixed European background and 25 per cent are indigenous (there are more than a dozen distinct groups). The rest of the population is predominantly from either Spanish or African descent. It’s a small country, but food, dress, dialects and customs can vary throughout.

Ecuador’s two largest cities – Quito and Guayaquil – split most of the population into mountain living and coastal living. People from the coast (Guayaquil) call mountain people (Quito) conservative, whereas mountain people have been known to argue that those from the coast are uncultured. While usually contained to light banter, this rivalry sometimes creates tension between the two cities.

Eating and drinking

Ecuadorian cuisine is largely shaped by its abundant fresh produce. Seafood and plantain dominate the coast, with dietary staples including ceviche, tropical fish (particularly corvina or sea bass) and seafood soups such as encebollado.

Creamy coconut milk is commonly used to create flavourful sauces. Look for the word ‘encocado’ on menus – it means the dish is served in a coconut sauce. 

Foods to try in Ecuador

1. locro de papa.

A classic Ecuadorian potato and corn soup, usually served with cheese, corn and avocado.  

2. Encebollado

Usually made with albacore tuna, encebollado is a pickled onion fish soup. Ecuadorians swear this soup is the ultimate hangover food.

There are many variations of this dish, but just about all of them use seafood as its core ingredient, such as fish, shrimp, octopus, squid, crab, clams or lobster. It’s diced and then marinated in various ways for flavor. 

4. Ceviche de chocos

Vegetarians don’t need to feel left out while everyone is feasting on all the ceviche – ceviche de chochos is a vegetarian alternative. An indigenous bean called chocho is combined with onions, tomatoes, cilantro (coriander), limes, oranges and tomato sauce, then topped with maiz tostado (toasted corn nut), chifles (plantain chips), avocado and hot sauce.

Geography and environment

Tucked away on the continent’s Pacific coastline, Ecuador is one of the smallest countries in South America . Bordering Colombia in the north and Peru in the south, Ecuador contains its own segments of some of South America’s most famous landmarks, including the Amazon rainforest and the Andes.

Like many other South American countries, Ecuador’s coastline boasts a large number of pristine beaches. Mantra, Crucita, Canoa and Montanita are among the famous spots, however there are many other national parks and small coastal towns that offer their own variations of beachside bliss.

Ecuador’s capital, Quito, is located in the north of the country and is renowned for its colonial architecture. To the west of the city is Pichincha, one of Ecuador’s many spectacular volcanoes.

Adding to Ecuador’s list of natural wonders are the incredible Galapagos Islands, which lie about 1000 km west of the mainland. These volcanic islands are famed for their association with botanist Charles Darwin, who spent considerable time studying their incredible biodiversity.

Follow in the footsteps of Darwin on our 10 day Best of Galapagos trip

Top 5 natural marvels of Ecuador

1. volcanoes.

Ecuador is a climbing and mountaineering paradise, with some of the grandest (and most active) volcanoes in the world. Just south of Quito lies the ‘Avenue of Volcanos’, which includes the country's highest peak, and no less than nine awe-inspiring volcanos.

Ecuador is a beach lover’s haven, with a well-earned reputation for supplying some of the most gorgeous spots on South America’s Pacific coast. While there are no shortage of backpacker havens and crowded Ecuadorian holiday spots, those seeking a little more privacy should check out the beautiful Manta and the gorgeous Machalilla National Park.

3. The Andes

Hard to ignore, the Andes form Ecuador’s rocky spine and are home to breathtaking tropical valleys, snow-capped peaks and fresh mountain lakes. A welcome escape from Ecuador’s hot summers, the Andes offer an unforgettable array of high-altitude adventures.

Explore the Andes and the Amazon on our 8 day Ecuador Highlands trip

4. The Amazon

Rich in color and natural diversity, Ecuador is blessed with a sizeable portion of the famous Amazon rainforest. Lying to the west of the Andes, this incredible jungle is home to some of the world’s most fascinating and unique species, as well as being an ideal place to enjoy activities such as canoeing, trekking and bird watching.

5. Galapagos Islands

Journey to a lost world and discover a wildlife sanctuary that continues to inspire visitors and scientists alike. Relatively untouched by human life, the Galapagos is an ecological Disneyland, the jewel in Ecuador’s already glistening crown.

If you're looking for gifts to take home after your trip, you'll find plenty of local markets throughout the country. Here are a few top shopping spots to buy local goods and souvenirs in Ecuador.

In Quito, the Olga Fisch Gallery is an excellent place to shop clothing, ceramics, paintings and other creations by Ecuador’s best artisans and craftspeople. Be aware that the gallery focuses on high-end products and the price tags reflect the quality.

Otavalo Market in the city of Otavalo – the largest and most famous market in South America – is the best place in the country to shop for handmade artisan goods including alpaca sweaters, textiles, ceramics, leather products, jewelry and woodcarvings.

Known locally as Plaza de los Ponchos, Otavalo Market has been around for hundreds of years, predating Incan times. Vendors sell their wares seven days a week, though Saturdays and Wednesdays are the best days to go when more vendors are set up. Like most markets in Latin America, bargaining is accepted.

Despite popular opinion, Panama hats are not from Panama, they are an Ecuadorian creation. Originally woven using local straw along the coast, these days they’re mostly made in Cuenca.

The city’s hat factories offer an interesting glimpse into the production of this UNESCO-listed craft. Make sure to shop around if you are in the market to purchase your own Panama hat as price and quality vary greatly (between USD 10 and USD 250).

Cuenca is also famed for its ceramics. Artesa and E. Vega Galeria – the workshop of Ecuador’s most famous artist, Eduardo Vega – are two notable places to shop for quality ceramics.

Festivals and events

Ecuador has a busy festival calendar. Here are some of the country's most popular events:

1. Carnival

While many associate colorful costumes and giant floats with Carnival, celebrations in Ecuador are a bit different. Here, the week before Lent (usually in February) is marked with boisterous water/food fights.

Friends and strangers alike can expect to be doused in all kinds of things including flour, water balloons and eggs. If this sort of play sounds more annoying than fun, head to Ambato, where flour is replaced with flowers.

2. Inti Raymi (Festival of the Sun)

Commemorating the June solstice and harvest, this festival is celebrated by indigenous communities across South America. The main event in Ecuador takes place in Otavalo, where barbeques, bonfires, traditional dances and parades go on for a week.

3. Mama Negra

The most important event on the Latacunga calendar features a parade of characters in flamboyant costumes, dancing, drinking and general revelry. Honouring both the Virgen de las Mercedes and the 19th century liberation of African slaves, it’s so important it happens twice – once in September and then again in November.

4. Cuenca Independence Day

Celebrations fill every corner of the city each November as Cuenca commemorates its independence from Spain. Overlapping with the annual Day of the Dead festival, streets fill with people taking in parades, dances, and sporting events; crafts fairs are held across the city; and food vendors set up at cemeteries while families visit the graves of loved ones.

When is the best time to visit Ecuador?

There are two seasons in Ecuador, wet and dry, and they vary depending on the region. For the most part, Ecuador is a sunny, warm country, and even the wet season will bring its fair share of sunny days.

The best time to visit is largely dependent on your itinerary, although it should be noted that the Christmas period (December to January) is often the busiest, so be prepared for large crowds.

In the Amazon, August and December through March are the driest seasons and April to June are the wettest. In the highlands, the dry season is from June to September as well as December. The Galapagos and coastal regions are mainly influenced by ocean currents.

The hot and rainy season runs from January to April. It doesn't rain much, but you can expect some downpours at times. From May to December, it can be a bit cooler with more overcast days.

The high seasons in the Galapagos (June through August, December and January) are generally determined by holiday trends and not by weather conditions

Is tipping customary in Ecuador?

While tipping isn’t mandatory, tips are very much appreciated by service workers and guides. Leaving a 10% tip is customary in restaurants. Some automatically add a 10% service charge to your bill, in which case an extra tip isn’t required.

What is the internet access like in Ecuador?

Internet can be accessed at internet cafes and hotels in large cities and towns but is limited in rural and remote areas.

Can I use my cell phone while in Ecuador?

Cell phone coverage is good in Ecuador’s cities, but may not be available in rural and mountainous areas. Ensure global roaming is activated with your service provider before leaving home.

What are the toilets like in Ecuador?

Ecuador has a mix of Western-style flushable toilets and squat toilets. Either way, always carry your own toilet paper and hand sanitizer, as these are not always provided. You’ll notice that most flushable toilets have a wastebasket next to them. This is because toilets in Ecuador can’t handle toilet paper and will overflow if you try to flush it. Instead, always put used toilet paper in these baskets.

Credit cards are usually accepted by hotels, large retailers and tourist sites but are less commonly accepted by smaller vendors and family-run restaurants and market stalls. Always carry enough cash for smaller purchases in case credit cards are not an option.

What is ATM access like in Ecuador?

ATMs are easily found in the large cities and airports, although are less common in rural and remote areas. When traveling out of the city, be prepared by having enough cash, as ATMs aren't always available.

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of your trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip.

Will I experience altitude sickness in Ecuador?

Most people can start to feel the effects of altitude at over 2000 m (6561 ft) regardless of age, gender or fitness level. Quito, as well as other tourist spots, sit above this elevation and some travelers might experience symptoms of altitude sickness, including shortness of breath, headache, nausea and loss of appetite. It’s important to take it easy, drink plenty of water and speak to your group leader at once if you feel unwell.

We recommend seeing your doctor if you have any health concerns before undertaking the trip. Particularly if you have a pre-existing medical condition or take any medication.

Do I need any vaccinations before visiting Ecuador?

Ecuador requires proof of yellow fever vaccination if you are travelling from a country with risk of yellow fever. Many South and Central American countries pose a risk (including Argentina, Brazil and Colombia), so if you are planning on visiting other nearby nations before Ecuador you may be required to get this vaccine. 

Visit your doctor or travel clinic for advice and make sure to schedule your vaccination 4-6 weeks before your departure date, as some require time to become effective. No other vaccines are required in order to enter Ecuador but some are recommended for protection against disease.

Is Ecuador a safe destination for LGBTQIA+ travelers?

Ecuador is a relatively hassle-free destination for LGBTQIA+ travelers. Same-sex marriage was legalised here in 2019 and LGBT discrimination is illegal. In saying that, conservative attitudes still exist throughout the country and LGBTQIA+ travelers are generally advised to use discretion when it comes to public displays of affection.

In the big cities like Quito and Guayaquil, there are many gay-friendly hotels, bars, clubs and cafes, however, they can be harder to find in smaller cities and towns.

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting Equaldex  or ILGA before you travel.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling?

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

Is it better to travel independently or in group tours in Mexico?

Regardless of the option you choose for traveling in Mexico, whether independently or in a group tour, each has its pros and cons.

Opting for independent travel, for instance, provides greater flexibility to plan your own Mexico itinerary and choose activities according to your preferences. You’ll have the freedom to decide when and how to engage in activities, allowing you to explore Mexico at your own pace. Additionally, this option can be more budget-friendly, as you can control expenses according to your choices.

However, independent travel requires detailed planning, including research on accommodation, transportation, and activities. You need to be prepared to deal with potential challenges, such as language barriers, and take extra precautions regarding safety, especially in more remote areas.

On the other hand, a group tour with a guide offers the company of fellow travelers and the opportunity to meet people with similar interests. Traveling in a group can also provide a sense of security, especially when accompanied by an experienced guide familiar with Mexico.

However, this option might somewhat limit your freedom to explore Mexico independently, as you’ll be following a predetermined itinerary and schedules set by the group.

In summary, the choice between traveling independently or in a group in Mexico depends on your personal preferences. Evaluate your interests, available time, budget, and comfort level when making your decision. The important thing is to make the most of your Mexico experience, whether you’re enjoying the freedom of independent travel or the social and safety advantages of a group tour.

Top points of interest in Ecuador

One of the smallest on the continent, this country punches well above its weight. It includes a few bonafide superstar attractions that pack our Ecuador tours with bucket-list items.  

Middle of the world monument

Ecuador got its name from its geographic location in the middle of the earth or on the equator. Our Ecuador tours ferry you 19 miles north of the capital to the Middle of the World Monument. It allows visitors to put a foot in the northern and southern hemispheres . 

Modern technology has shown the actual equator is a couple of hundred yards north, where the Intiñan Solar museum now stands. You can perform a few equator-related science experiments and enjoy the interactive exhibits .

Most Ecuador adventure tours feature the second-highest capital city at 9,350ft. The fascinating city of Quito lies on the slopes of a looming volcano called Pichincha to the west. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it remains the center of culture, economy, and political affairs .

The closest capital city to the world’s middle, the views are breathtaking, but so is the altitude. Its foundation dates to the conquistadors and it’s the longest continually-inhabited city in South America.

The city is located in north-central Ecuador in the Andean highlands. Quito’s historic old Spanish colonial center is intact and has a distinct atmosphere, befitting the oldest capital city on the continent.

On our tours of Ecuador, note the skyline dotted with church steeples and spires. Quaint squares, cool parks, a botanical garden, and 16th and 17th century architecture punctuate the landscape.

Located in the south at about 8,400 ft above sea level, it’s the provincial capital and a UNESCO World Heritage city . It’s the third-largest city and the financial hub of the southern highlands.

The city of 330,000 inhabitants sits amongst the Andes with beautiful and well-maintained colonial architecture . Learn more about the people, history, and culture at the impressive Pumapungo Museum, or get yourself a Panama hat from one of the vendors.

On our trips to Ecuador, you could stroll along the Tomebamba riverfront or visit the central plaza in Parque Calderon. Compare the blue-domed Catedral Nueva with its 16th-century predecessor, now a religious museum. 

Take a day trip to El Cajas National Park , where hikers enjoy the evergreen cloud forests. Walk around the dotted lakes and spot condors, alpacas, spectacled bears, or even hummingbirds. This gem is one of the country’s little-known treats .

More information about ecuador.

Situated on the  equator  in  South America, Ecuador  is known for its tropical rainforests, indigenous culture and it’s the mystical  Galápagos Islands , an isolated volcanic archipelago home to more endemic species than anywhere on earth, and where the giant tortoises live.  Charles Darwin’s  playground, the  Galapagos  have put  Ecuador  on the map as a bucket list destination; a  trip to Ecuador  now tops the lists of most intrepid travelers searching for an adventure tour. On the mainland, you can expect to find charming quintessential colonial architecture, Andean villages and remote Amazonian settlements, where the rainforest is at the heart of local life. 

Choose a  holiday to Ecuador  and you can quench both your thirst for adventure and your desire to unwind; go bird-watching in the  Mindo Cloudforest  or kick-back in a tranquil hilltop village where gracefully restored  haciendas  provide a sublime setting to relax in. The capital city,  Quito,  the second-highest capital city in the world after  La Paz,  is the starting point for most adventures, either into the highlands or out into the  Pacific coast  for a  Galapagos  discovery, although the largest city is  Guayaquil , situated at the mouth of the  River Guayas.   Ecuador  borders it’s larger neighbors of  Peru , to the south ,  and  Colombia  to the north. A non-negotiable stop on any  South American   tour ,  an  Ecuador tour package  is the perfect way to discover the unbeatable biodiversity, stunning natural landscapes and colorful culture of a country famed as the first in the world to recognize the ‘rights of nature’!

History of Ecuador

Ecuador  is known for its  Incan  heritage and many visit the country to uncover legacy and ruins of this once mighty empire, such as the walls of  Ingapirca , a captivating highlight on a  tour of Ecuador.  Despite the fame of the  Incas , other civilizations have left their own influence on modern  Ecuador . A variety of  Amerindian  groups were incorporated into the huge, territory-spanning  Inca Empire  in the  15th-century , but the following century marked the beginning of the  Spanish  colonization of  Ecuador  and the consequential collapse of the mighty  Incas.  Native communities were forced into the labor system and  Quito  was appointment as an important administrative center for the  Spanish Empire . A huge earthquake in  1797  devastated the city of  Riobamba  and its surroundings, resulting in tens of thousands of casualties and dubbed the most powerful historical event ever known in  Ecuador’s  history. In the  19th-century, Ecuador  set the trend for independence in  South America , beginning its struggle in  1820  and finally unifying with the  Republic of Gran Colombia  in  1822,  which was led by the liberator,  Simon Bolivar.   Ecuador  later broke from the republic, becoming its own independent republic in  1830.  

On a  holiday to Ecuador , you’ll notice the diversity of local culture and people, evidence of the complex history which built the country into what it is today. More recent history has been dominated by on-going disputes and conflicts over the  Amazon Basin  with neighboring  Peru,  a struggle which lasted over  100 years  until the signing of a peace treaty in  1998.  A brief  military junta  in the  70s  was followed by the return of democracy in the  80s , with modern  Ecuador  famed for its dedication to wildlife preservation and the protection of the natural environment.

Nature in Ecuador

One of the world’s most biodiverse and species-rich destinations, an  Ecuador holiday  is a dream-come-true for nature lovers. Famously home to the iconic  Galapagos Islands , which attract travelers from across the globe, the  Amazon rainforest  and the  Andes  also offer excellent opportunities to get in touch with nature. Due to its location on the  equator,  there are roughly  12 hours  of sunlight a day throughout the year, with the sun setting at  6 p.m.  and rising again at  6 a.m. , making any time of year the perfect time to embark on a  tour of Ecuador.  

You can even stand with one foot in each hemisphere at the  Middle of the Earth Monument , just outside of the colonial city of  Quito.  Aside from the fascinating  Galapagos , there’s plenty of other natural attractions to whet your appetite for nature.  Cotopaxi National Park , home to the volcano of the same name, the highest active volcano in the world, is filled with fantastic hiking trails and is the perfect destination for exhilarating mountain biking or tranquil horseriding. If you’re looking for something a little more tropical, then the village of  Mindo , nestled in the slopes of the  Andes , is a natural paradise of  cloud forests , waterfalls, butterflies and tropical birds; in fact, it's a bird-watching haven which attracts bird-watchers from across the world! 

Finally,  Cuicocha Lake  is another unmissable natural attraction to discover on a  trip to Ecuador . This ancient crater lake, close to  Otavalo , is filled with bright blue water and dotted with tiny little islands. It was formed over  3000 years ago  by a huge volcanic eruption.

Culture in Ecuador

As diverse as its natural attractions,  Ecuador’s  culture is a fusion of numerous different influences, cultivated by the communities that have settled on its beautiful lands over the centuries.  Spanish  is the official language although  Quechua , known as the ‘living language of the  Incas ’ is widely spoken, particularly in the highlands. Much of the population belong to the  Roman Catholic  church, a remnant of the  Spanish  colonialists who arrived in the  16th-century.  

Although  Latin  culture is predominant, as seen in the music, architecture, and cuisine of  Ecuador , there exist countless remote communities of indigenous peoples, particularly in the wilds of the  Amazon Basin.  Many of these communities practice their own native cultures, such as the  Huaorani  people, who have almost entirely rejected contact with the outside world and, instead, move deeper into the rainforest in a hope to preserve their ways of life. 

Communities like these posses traditional  animistic  worldviews and tend to hunt and gather in order to sustain themselves. If you have the opportunity to explore the  Amazon jungle  on an  Ecuador travel  you may have the chance to get close to and learn about these distinct and unique cultures. 

What could be more exotic than visit  Ecuador?  An exciting and diverse travel destination, a  holiday to Ecuador  is unique in so many ways. From the vast endemic species of the iconic  Galapagos Islands  to the rich tapestry of local culture and the landscapes of towering volcanoes and tropical rainforests, it’s a bucket-list-worthy destination for any intrepid traveler.

The GAdventures App needs updating and is not very well laid out. The trip itself was excellent - made especially memorable by the fantastic group we had. Our CEO was responsive to requests and various tastes and there was never a time that we were waiting for transportation. Accommodation was as expected - clean, friendly

Best of Galapagos

There are a lot of tours to choose from when you are looking at touring in the Galapagos so you need to choose one that is right for you. Best of Galapagos is exactly what it says. We saw everything!!! 10 days was the perfect amount of time to immerse ourselves into everything the islands have to offer. Just brilliant

Galapagos Discovery

This was an amazing trip to three islands with many things to do! The tour introduced the islands well and out guide Genesis was amazing. Genesis was very hands on and proactive with all the activities and presented equally good energies. I highly recommend this tour with Genesis as a really good group tour with a fun guide!

An alle die noch überlegen: Bucht es! Ich habe mit dieser Reise tolle Erfahrungen gesammelt und es war einzigartig. Schon allein die Vielfalt war überwältigend. Von den Besuchen der tollen historischen Altstädte, über die kahlen Landschaften der Vulkane bis hin zum Regenwald, war bei dieser Tour alles dabei. Außerdem war es immer super organisiert und man fühlt sich immer willkommen und gut aufgehoben.

Ultimate Galapagos Islands Adventure

The guides were terrific, very educational and entertaining. We loved the ability to stay at 4 of the different islands, and have an ocean view from every room! We got to see and do so much! I was never board, snorkeling, biking, watching and learning about the animals and environment, hiking, kayaking, etc…. It was great that the agenda was flexible. Having the agenda changed to enable us to be able to participate in all activities instead of having to pick and choose was fantastic! We were excited to find out we could snorkel the tuneles and hike the volcano. The food was fantastic, they were able to accommodate my gluten allergy every we went. All the local restaurants we very good at accommodating allergies as well as giving us a fantastic variety of local delicious foods. All in all it was an amazing trip that I definitely recommend!

What people love about Ecuador Tours

This was a great experience if you are looking for a little adventure! It is not a luxury, relaxing vacation, but has a good mix of exciting experiences, eating good food, waking up early to travel to new stops, and some time to chill and interact with other travelers.

This tour is intended for people who are physically fit,able to walk 6 kilometers a day, love to kayak/snorkel/swim/bike, and still have plenty of energy to enjoy the wildlife. I cannot cope up with the group, but luckily our CEO offered me options like museum visit, tour to Tntoreras. I still was able yo see all the wildlife I need to see exvept the cormorant. I did not expect to stay in a 5 star hotel. I find the accommodation suitable enough for my needs: comfortable bed, air condition, water, electricity, wifi. Special thanks to Sandra, CEO. She is one of the best tour guides I met in my years of travel. She is a great listener and teacher. She was born in Santa Cruz. She knows Galapagos like the palm of her hand.

Mexico severs ties with ecuador after a late-night raid on its embassy.

Eyder Peralta

Mexico has severed diplomatic ties with Ecuador, after a Friday night police raid on its embassy in the capital Quito.

A MARTÍNEZ, HOST:

Ecuador's late-night raid on the Mexican Embassy in the capital, Quito, has led to diplomatic uproar between the two countries. Now, late Friday night, fully armed Ecuadorian police breached the doors of the Mexican Embassy to detain the former Ecuadorian vice president, who was taking refuge there. NPR's Eyder Peralta has been following the story from Mexico City. So this diplomatic fallout started with that late-night raid. Take us through all the details.

EYDER PERALTA, BYLINE: So, you know, diplomats are supposed to solve things with words, so this is as serious a diplomatic scuffle as it gets. This had been building for days. Mexico seemed intent on offering the former vice president of Ecuador political asylum, and Ecuador seemed intent on not letting the former vice president, Jorge Glas, out of the country. So in the days before the raid, security forces surrounded the Mexican Embassy in Quito, and on Friday night, they made their move. That meant that security forces in full riot gear stormed the embassy. Roberto Canseco, the head of the consular section at the Mexican Embassy, actually tried to physically stop them, and then he ran after the cars that took the former VP out of the embassy, and he was thrown to the ground. He said, quote, "they came in like criminals."

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

ROBERTO CANSECO: (Speaking Spanish).

PERALTA: And you can hear him there. He's distraught. He's saying, "this is not possible. This is madness. I'm worried because they might kill him." Very shortly thereafter, the Mexican president broke diplomatic ties with Ecuador, and he ordered his diplomats to come back home. The whole staff flew in yesterday afternoon.

MARTÍNEZ: It sounds like an espionage movie, just like some thriller.

PERALTA: Yeah.

MARTÍNEZ: I mean, so, OK, Jorge Glas. Who is Jorge Glas, and why would Ecuador risk this to arrest him?

PERALTA: He's the former VP who served under President Rafael Correa, and these men are part of the left wing of Ecuadorian politics, but former vice president Jorge Glas was convicted of corruption in 2017, and he served four years in prison. He was released, but Ecuadorian authorities issued another arrest warrant alleging further corruption, and this past December, he sought refuge at the Mexican Embassy, and that's when all of this starts. The Ecuadorian government says he's a criminal and that they will not let any criminal go free. And the Mexican government seems to believe that this is part of a purge of left-wing politicians in Ecuador.

The now-former Mexican ambassador to Ecuador almost broke down in tears at the airport here yesterday. She said Ecuador's current government, quote, "improvises and is alien to the art of politics and the importance of asylum to Mexico and Ecuador," and she has a point here. Mexico has offered refuge to all kinds of people throughout history, from Leon Trotsky to Jose Marti to the Shah of Iran, and so has Ecuador. They famously gave refuge to Julian Assange in their embassy in London.

MARTÍNEZ: Yeah. All right. So what's done is done, but how seriously is this abuse of diplomatic protocols being taken not just by Mexico, but in the region and beyond?

PERALTA: Mexico's foreign ministry said that the raid of its embassy was, quote, "a flagrant violation of the Vienna Convention," which does prohibit states from violating diplomatic premises. And while you can see this as a spat between a leftist Mexican government and the center-right government of Ecuador, the condemnation has been broad. The U.S., the U.N., a mix of left- and right-wing governments in Latin America, they have all stood with Mexico. And Mexico says that today, it will file a case with the International Court of Justice.

MARTÍNEZ: All right. That's NPR's Eyder Peralta in Mexico City. Thank you very much.

PERALTA: Thank you, A.

Mexico releases footage of Ecuador police storming its embassy in Quito

The raid spurred criticism as being a violation of international law as Ecuador sought to arrest a former vice president.

Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released footage of the police raid on its embassy in Quito, Ecuador, calling the law enforcement action an “unauthorised and violent break-in”.

In an accompanying statement on Tuesday, published both in Spanish and English, the ministry blasted Ecuador for violating international accords protecting embassies from law enforcement interference.

Amid diplomatic spat, mexico grants former ecuadorian vice president asylum, mexico suspends ties with ecuador after police raid embassy, latin american countries condemn ecuador raid on mexico embassy.

“The world witnessed the violence, abuse and mistreatment of our Mexican personnel at the hands of the Ecuadorian police and the violation of the immunity of our embassy in Ecuador,” the statement said.

“Mexico will bring these violations of international law to the international courts and tribunals with the support of friendly countries.”

The video captured Friday’s successful attempt to arrest former Ecuadorian Vice President Jorge Glas, who had sought refuge within the embassy walls after being convicted on corruption-related charges.

Clips show Ecuadorian police gathering outside the walls of the embassy late at night, with one officer scaling the barrier, gun in hand.

Then the footage cuts to security cameras inside the embassy, where police burst in through the door and point a gun at Mexican diplomat Roberto Canseco, who attempts to block their path.

Canseco is later shown being thrown to the ground outside the embassy, as he tries to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving the property with Glas.

During his daily news conference on Tuesday, outgoing Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador addressed the footage. He reiterated the foreign ministry’s warning that the storming of the embassy would have consequences in international court.

“Mexico is an independent and sovereign country, and we will not allow anyone’s meddling in it,” he told reporters.

Tense relations

The police raid ruptured the already tenuous relationship between Ecuador and Mexico.

On Friday night, in the wake of the raid, Mexico officially severed diplomatic ties with Ecuador, recalling its diplomatic staff from Quito.

Over the weekend, Mexico’s Secretary of Foreign Relations Alicia Barcena said the employees came home “with their heads held high”, posting pictures and praising “the defence they made of our sovereignty”.

Tensions between the two countries started to simmer last week after President Lopez Obrador commented on Ecuador’s recent presidential elections.

He suggested that media scrutiny over the assassination of an Ecuadorian presidential candidate helped tip the outcome of the race last year.

Those comments led to Ecuador naming Mexico’s ambassador, Raquel Serur Smeke, a “persona non grata” in the country. In her absence, Canseco became the highest-ranking official at the Mexican Embassy.

While the spat over the election comments was unfolding, the Mexican Foreign Ministry issued a statement offering political asylum to Glas, who had been sheltering in the embassy since December.

Glas was one of the many Latin American politicians caught up in the Odebrecht corruption scandal , named for a Brazilian construction company.

He and other officials across the region were accused of accepting bribes in exchange for inking favourable government contracts with the company. Glas, for example, faced allegations of pocketing $13.5m in bribes.

He was convicted twice in relation to the corruption scandal: once in 2017, for which he was sentenced to six years in prison, and once in 2020, resulting in an additional eight-year sentence.

But Glas, who served in the left-wing government of former President Rafael Correa, has repeatedly alleged he is a victim of political persecution.

Before Friday’s police raid, the Mexican Foreign Ministry warned that police had started to gather outside its embassy walls in Ecuador. Police in the country have long sought to enter the embassy and arrest Glas.

International outcry

International law, like the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, protects embassies and consulates as spaces off limits to local law enforcement.

That principle — often known as the “rule of inviolability” — allows for diplomatic affairs to be conducted without police or military interference.

But it has also been used to protect figures seeking to dodge prosecution or other threats they might face in a given country.

On Tuesday, United States National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan joined in the international condemnation of the Quito embassy raid, referencing the newly released footage from a White House podium.

“We’ve reviewed the security camera footage from the Mexican embassy and believe these actions were wrong,” he said.

“The Ecuadorian government disregarded its obligations under international law as a host state to respect the inviolability of diplomatic missions and jeopardised the foundation of basic diplomatic norms and relationships.”

He added that the US has “asked Ecuador to work with Mexico to find a resolution to this diplomatic dispute”.

The Organisation of American States (OAS) is scheduled to hold a meeting on the embassy raid on Wednesday in Washington, DC, something Sullivan said the White House welcomed.

But on Tuesday, Mexican President Obrador expressed frustration with the US, as well as Canada, calling their statements on the matter lukewarm and “ambiguous”.

“We are neighbours. But their position was very undefined,” he said.

Ecuador’s President Daniel Noboa, meanwhile, has defended his country’s actions.

“Ecuador is a country of peace and justice, which respects all nations and international law,” he wrote in a statement posted on social media on Monday.

For his part, Glas returned to prison in Guayaquil, Ecuador, on Tuesday after a brief hospital stay : He had reportedly been refusing to eat after his arrest.

Here's why Ecuador raided the Mexican Embassy, sparking a diplomatic row

Social Sharing

Mexico abruptly suspended bilateral relations with Ecuador in an escalating diplomatic dispute, after Ecuador's police forced their way into the Mexican Embassy in the capital Quito to arrest a former vice-president on graft charges.

Why did Ecuador raid Mexican Embassy?

Heavily armed and balaclava-clad police broke into the Mexican Embassy in Quito late Friday night to arrest Jorge Glas, Ecuador's former leftist vice-president who is wanted on graft charges.

Glas has been living at the embassy since December after requesting asylum in Mexico, which was only granted on Friday.

Ecuador, which asked for Mexico's permission to enter the embassy at the start of March to detain Glas, contends the asylum offer was illegal because under international law, people facing charges should not be granted asylum.

Mexico, whose president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, immediately suspended relations with Ecuador after the raid, has said it closely studied Glas's case.

The arrest capped a week of growing tensions between the two Latin American countries, after Quito declared the Mexican ambassador persona non grata , citing "unfortunate" comments by leftist López Obrador.

The Mexican president had compared election-related violence in the two countries, alleging the murder of Ecuadorean presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio last year was unfairly tied to the leftist candidate in the race, who subsequently lost.

López Obrador further blamed what he said was corrupt media for what he described as election manipulation. The media have been a frequent target of the president's ire during his nearly six years in office.

Who is Jorge Glas, and what charges is he facing?

Glas, who was vice-president during the government of Rafael Correa between 2013 and 2017, has been convicted twice in corruption cases and is now facing fresh charges of misuse of public resources.

He was first sentenced to six years in prison in late 2017 after a court found him guilty of taking bribes from Brazilian construction company Odebrecht in return for handing the scandal-choked firm's state contracts.

Glas, 54, was convicted again in 2020 of using money from contractors to fund campaigns for Correa's political movement and received an eight-year sentence.

Correa, who has lived in Belgium since he left office, was convicted in the same case.

Both men have long alleged that the charges are politically motivated, an accusation prosecutors have denied.

Glas served more than four years in prison before being released in 2022, only to be jailed again the same year after a court ruled he needed to serve the remainder of his sentences — although his lawyers had requested he serve them concurrently and benefit from parole.

He was last released in November 2022, but Glas faces new charges of misusing funds collected to aid reconstruction of coastal Manabi province after a devastating 2016 earthquake.

His lawyers in December appealed a judge's decision to send him back to prison, arguing his life could be in danger, but it was denied.

What has been the regional reaction?

On Saturday, governments across the political spectrum in Latin America — including Brazil and Colombia on the left, and Argentina and Uruguay on the right — sharply criticized the arrest of Glas.

Brazil's government condemned Ecuador's move as a "clear violation" of international norms prohibiting such a raid on a foreign embassy, while Argentina called for compliance with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

What's next?

Mexico's Foreign Affairs Ministry said it will file a complaint with the United Nations' International Court of Justice, while the government of leftist Colombian President Gustavo Petro said it will seek human rights protections for Glas from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, saying his right to asylum was "barbarously violated."

The Washington-based Organization of American States said a session of the body's permanent council will be convened to discuss the need for strict compliance with international treaties.
