The safety picture

A plain-language read of the sourced figures below

Guayaquil is more a gap than an entry in our data.

We hold no vetted homicide or robbery rate for the city, and with only two of five incidence categories covered the profile is provisional, so we do not compute a composite score. The advisories are the firm signal, and here they agree: the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia all set Ecuador at their second level, increased caution. Each advisory that covers the country flags pickpocketing and scams directed at travellers. We hold no resident survey on feeling safe walking alone at night for Guayaquil, so there is no perception figure to weigh against the guidance.
