"Montanita is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, but like any other place, it is not completely free from crime. Petty crimes such as pickpocketing and bag snatching are common, especially in crowded areas and on public transportation. There have also been reports of more serious crimes such as assault and robbery, particularly at night and in isolated areas. Drug-related crimes are also a concern in Montanita, as the town is known for its vibrant nightlife and party scene. It is always recommended for visitors to take precautions, stay vigilant, and avoid displaying valuable items in public," explained one expat living in Montanita, Ecuador.
