1 mission of Ecuador in Gabon: Consulate General of Ecuador in Libreville, Gabon. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Dr. Oswaldo Díaz, Honorary Consul General (as of 2010)
Ecuador presents a compelling travel opportunity for some of Gabon's 2 million residents, featuring a diverse array of cultural and natural attractions. Highlights include the renowned Galápagos Islands, the majestic Andes mountains, and the vibrant Amazon rainforest, making it an appealing destination for those seeking unique experiences.
Ecuador's safety for tourists, particularly those coming from Gabon, presents some concerns. According to the Global Peace Index, Ecuador ranks 128th out of 160 countries, which is lower than Gabon's ranking of 116th. The murder rate in Ecuador is 14.0 per 100,000 people, with a specific female murder rate of 2.5. In terms of organized crime, Ecuador has higher indices compared to Gabon across various categories, indicating more significant issues with mafia groups (6.5), crime networks (5.5), and drug trafficking, particularly cocaine (7.0). Gabon generally scores better in organized crime metrics, with lower indices in most categories. Overall, while Ecuador offers rich cultural and natural attractions, tourists should exercise caution and stay informed about safety conditions.
