overland from Tumaco to Ecuador?
Title pretty much says it all - I'll be ending a long Colombia trip in Tumaco, and would like to continue on into Ecuador. I know many years ago this was NOT a great place to be/cross, but has the security situation improved? For what it's worth I'm a very experienced traveler with dozens of overland Africa border crossings, but last thing anyone wants is to venture into gang/drug territory.
Assuming it's safe, what's the best way? I assume hire a driver? I'd like to get to Atacames before eventually making my way to Guayaquil.
