Should I Leave Tips in Ecuador?
It isn't required to leave a tip (known as a propina), but it is a nice thing to do and it typically won't cost you much money. Nicer restaurants often include a 10 percent service fee to your bill; if they don't, you might want to leave this amount anyway. It's also good practice to tip porters, taxi drivers, and guides 5–10 percent.
