Always worth checking the dates on posts before responding....
I heard from some friends who spent a couple of weeks in Ecuador recently, and they sounded chastened by the situation there. They're not riders, but one of the couple is an experienced traveler, fluent in Spanish, and not easily frightened. In particular, they said many roads are dangerous these days.
I'd take it all with a grain of salt, of course. But it does sound worth keeping an ear to the ground, particularly in light of the election.
