Travel warning as Brits told not to visit tourist destination famed for 'endless beaches'

A travel warning has been issued by the UK Government. British tourists have advised not to visit Ecuador following political unrest in the country.

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) issued a statement on its website advising against all travel to within the 20km exclusion zone along the border with Colombia, except for the official border crossing town of Tulcan in Carchi province.

It added: "There has been a higher concentration of protests in and around Quito district". Rioting and mass protests broke out in the country and a state of emergency was issued for some provinces, however, this has since been lifted. The situation continues to develop and remains uncertain.
