Hi Ann,

Singletraveler hit a number of good points. Most of the time just using common sense could greatly improve your safety. I've been to both Quito and Cuenca a few times and have never had any problems, but I know the risk is out there. The most important advice I can give is that there truly is "safety in numbers"

Most of all, have fun!
