Passport
Travelers to South or Central America Advised of Passport Requirement 
-
March 16, 2008

As you probably know, a passport is required to travel to South or Central America.  What you may not know is that your passport must be valid for at least 6-months AFTER you return from your trip.  If you are traveling to any destination in these regions (including the Galapagos Islands), please check the expiration date of your party's passports and take appropriate action ahead of time.

100 US Dollars
Travelers to Ecuador Advised Not to Bring US $100 Bills - August 2005

LARC has been receiving reports that a large number of near perfect counterfeit US $100 bills have entered Ecuador from a neighboring country.  To prevent the circulation of these bills, Ecuador’s commerce and banking system is no longer accepting $100 bills.

We advise all persons traveling to Ecuador not to bring US $100 bills with them because these will not be accepted, cashed or changed even at banks.  Travelers are advised to carry smaller denominations of US bills instead.  (The US dollar was adopted as the official currency of Ecuador on March 14, 2000.)
