The dangers are way too overrated, everyone there is more then helpful, the only bit of danger i ever faced was when being asked questions by the government army about why im here.
The people there are more then hospitiable, and it was really fun too. Nothing got stolen, but i didnt bring a camera
If you go out one night, be careful, my friend's sister went to equador, and her drink was drugged with marijuana and she woke up in a jail with all her stuff taken from her.
