User is looking for real-time safety insights for specific travel routes in Ecuador and wants this feature in a camping app.
I'm midway through a trip Mexico to Peru, currently in Colombia. I'll be in Colombia another month. My plan has been to travel via Ipiales/Tulcan into Ecuador, 2-3 weeks heading south, and crossing into Peru at La Balza. Reading about the safety getting progressively worse, I am rethinking my plans. UK travel advisory ( https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/ecuador ) shows safe areas, which I would fully stay within, but a very narrow route in via Ipiales/Tulcan. I already plan to avoid the coast completely, and follow an Andean through line. Does anyone have any on-the-ground insights? Would a trip Tulcan > Otavalo > Quito > Ambato > Loja > Zumba/La Balza be safe enough? Should I just gun it south and spend my time in Cuenca instead?
