in the South provinces enclosing the Peru (Zamora-Chinchipe,
El Oro and the Morona-Santiago) mainly due to the existence of unmarked
minefields and landmines in the Cordillera del Condor, situated in the Peruvian
border region.

since they are travelling to this part of the world, they are bound to subject
themselves to the local existing laws. It is a legal necessity that they carry
their identifications at all times, the pedestrian travellers must cross the
streets only at the cross walk and that jaywalking and strolling off the footpath
involves a punishable fine. Also travellers have to possess an international
driving permit. In case of the currency, the Canadian currency and travellers
cheques are not accepted. The currency is USD and credit cards are accepted by
most business. These travellers’ cheques are also easily changeable in the
tourist areas and also in major hotels. Also travellers driving via car should
not accept hitchhikers and in in the event of doing so, if they sort of loose
their luggage then the government would not be liable. So one has to monitor
their personal luggage at all times!
