Clearing Customs at GYE
by NoVABill
(:Loudoun County VA)
My wife is considering bringing a "pepper spray" in her luggage on the trip to GYE. I've checked several blogs and URLs and haven't found a specific prohibition on bringing pepper spray into Ecuador.
Any comments or experience with this.
Thx

Customs at GYE and UIO airports rarely go through the baggage of tourists and expats, so it's unlikely that your wife's pepper spray would be found. If it was, it's likely that all that would happen is confiscation of the spray.
She may want to leave it at home and use hairspray, wasp and hornet spray, which she can buy here, or some other spray that robbers and attackers wouldn't like having in their eyes, nose and mouth.

I just want to thank you both soooo much for creating this web site. I am originally from Cuenca but moved to New York 11 years ago and have not being back since. My husband and I are planning on visiting Cuenca over the Summer and this web site has helped me a lot.
When I came to the US we still had the "sucre," the bus ride cost 1,000 sucres and a pack of trident gum would cost 3,000 sucres. I am very nervous to go back, but thanks to your web site I now know what to expect.
My husband is American and Captivating Cuenca has taught him a lot about what my great city has to offer, things that I had forgotten about myself! :)
Thank You both so much! I cannot wait to visit Cuenca!!
