In order to re-activation of tourism activities in the country, Ecuador´s Government and the COE (Government emergency Committee) have established protocols for arriving international passengers:
“RT-PCR test requirement for entry into the country:
As a requirement for entering the country (air, land or sea), all persons must present a negative RT-PCR test to the Ministry of Health staff, issued maximum 10 days before arrival in the country. This time frame is valid for passengers who must depart and return to Ecuador within the allotted time.
Mandatory Preventive Isolation (APO):

The place of the APO will be the one that the traveler indicates upon their entrance to the country. In the case of presenting symptoms, the traveler will be handled as a COVID-19 suspected patient.
Corporación Quiport reminds citizens that it is the responsibility of national and municipal authorities to approve changes or extensions to the protocols in accordance with the evolution of the health situation in Ecuador. We ask everyone to stay informed through official channels.
