Burkina Faso is currently considered less safe for tourists compared to Ecuador. According to the Global Peace Index, Burkina Faso ranks 146th out of 160 countries, while Ecuador ranks 128th.

Regarding organized crime, Burkina Faso has lower scores in some areas, such as mafia groups (3.5) compared to Ecuador (6.5), but similar scores in human trafficking and smuggling. However, Burkina Faso scores worse in arms trafficking (8.0) and resource crime (8.5) compared to Ecuador.
