Reading all of the recent news and keeping up to date with the goings ons with the dollarization change in Ecuador makes me very wary about my upcoming trip to Quito on Feb. 21, 2001. I have been to the country twice before and loved it, yet I have not been to the country during a revolt such as this one. The country is currently in a state of emergency due to the protests. I understand that vehicle transportation is almost impossible. I plan on flying into Quito and from there, I was supposed to goto either Atacomones or Salinas for Carnival celebration. How dangerous is it currently for an American traveller? Thank you to anyone who will respond.
