FAQs
Question
Do I need a passport?
Answer
Yes. All international travelers will need a valid passport to enter Ecuador. We recommend checking your passport expiration date and ensuring it is valid for at least six months beyond your travel date.
Question
Is Quito safe?
Answer
Yes! Like any major city, we recommend using common travel precautions and keeping valuables secure, especially in crowded areas.
Question
What is the weather like in June?
Answer
Quito enjoys mild, spring-like weather year-round. June offers warm days and cooler evenings (similar to San Francisco weather), so we recommend dressing in layers and bringing a light jacket or wrap.
Question
Will the altitude affect me?
Answer
Quito sits at 9,350 feet above sea level. Most visitors adjust quickly, but staying hydrated and taking it easy on your first day can help you acclimate comfortably.
Question
How do I get around Quito?

Uber is a safe, affordable, and convenient way to get around Quito and is generally preferred by visitors due to its fixed pricing and ease of use. We will also provide shuttle transportation between the hotel and the wedding venue for wedding guests.
