This Travel Warning was
issued on April 22, 2006 to alert
Americans that the security situation in Quito remains unsettled following the April 20
removal of Ecuador's president. There have been no reports of disruptions in the
rest of the country, and both the U.S. Embassy in Quito and the U.S. Consulate in Guayaquil remain open. This Public Announcement expires on May 31, 2005.
After a week of increasingly
confrontational protests and demonstrations, the President of Ecuador was removed from
office, and the Vice-President took the oath of office on April 20, 2005. The
protests, centered in Quito, may abate, but the possibility exists that they may continue.
American citizens should avoid large crowds and demonstrations and minimize travel
in the city.

Demonstrations intended to be peaceful can
turn confrontational and escalate into violence. American citizens are therefore
urged to avoid areas of demonstrations if possible, and to exercise caution in the
vicinity of any demonstrations. Seek reliable sources of information for news of
demonstrations, protests and other activities that may impact your safety and security.
For updated information on the protests in
Quito, please call the Embassy at 011-593-2-256-2890 X4510 during working hours (8:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m.) For emergency services after hours, please call 011-593-2-223-4126 or
256-1749.
