That's just what I've heard, I've never actually been to Ecuador
However, I do believe that the Galapagos are safe

I do not share the fears of your aunt regarding Ecuador - I have never seen a machine gun over there. I believe kidnappings are more things of the past.
But you can not be safe in any country without some basic common sense, I would agree on that. Atrocities do happen in every country, even the most "civilised" ones.
