Health & vaccines

  • Yellow fever vaccination is recommended for some areas: ask a travel clinic. A certificate may be required if you arrive from a country at risk.
  • See a travel clinic 4 to 6 weeks before you leave: some vaccines are often recommended.
  • Don't drink tap water: drink bottled or filtered water, and avoid ice of unknown origin.
  • Dengue is present: use mosquito repellent, day and night.
  • Quito is at 2,850 m: take it easy the first days.
  • Travel insurance is strongly recommended.

These rules change and depend on your situation: always check with the official sources and your embassy before you leave. GoZzzy gives general information and cannot be held responsible.
