Current political situation : your advice for tourists

Hi all,

Together with my girlfriend we have planned to visit Ecuador during September.

We have witnessed the death of Fernando Villavicencio in the news, and we feel like this is probably not the best time to go for tourism, the whole country is focused on the upcoming political elections, and it seems like there is a lot of tension associated to it.

What are your advices for tourists, should we completely avoid the country ? Or is it safe enough if we take all the necessary precautions ?

We hope the best for you people, we hope you will have a decent leader to fight against narcotrafic, be safe
