That's a river crossing. The rope attached to that precarious-looking contraption is hand-pulled by your guides to get you safely across.
Ecuador: Your guide to the "new Costa Rica" {Gadling}
Jul 8th 2010 11:27AM Russ,
The probability of being kidnapped in Ecuador is infinitesimally small. The only potentially unsafe areas in Ecuador are those along the Ecuador - Colombia border, an area most travelers never see. Almost all of Ecuador, from big cities to small towns, is probably safer than your home town.
If you're looking for a retirement spot, let me recommend Quito as a big city spot and Banos or Cuenca as smaller options.
Have fun!

The top 9 reasons to drop everything and visit Guatemala right now {Gadling}
Nov 4th 2009 10:32AM Adam,
Glad you enjoyed it... I spent a while there this summer and, as you could tell, absolutely loved it.
I didn't take Spanish classes, but most language students head to either Antigua or Quetzaltenango (Xela), and you can't go wrong with either. Both have plenty of cafes, bars, hostels, etc where it's easy to meet young people-- both Guatemalans and foreigners. I'd give the nod to Xela only because English isn't as widely spoken there, which means you'll probably get a better chance to practice your Spanish.
Let me know if you have any more questions... I'm sure you'll have a great time wherever you go.
