Default Money in Ecuador?

Hello! :)

I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I'll be taking a trip to Ecuador but was curious about ATMs or credit card use in the country. I've heard of withdrawing a certain amount everyday just so there's less of a fear of getting mugged but are there ATMs in every town? If not, does anyone know if it's best to use credit cards or travelers checks?

Pros and cons of any kind would be good to know!

I've always used VISA and it works great. Most of the banks will charge a fee and tehn when you get home you'll notice a VISA international currency exchange charge as well but it beats carrying cash. The only other option is to get travelers checks which are a pain to cash. Safe Travels.. cool virtual tours in Quito you guys..
