Not on the itinerary
Those two giant spiders are bad enough, and that highly venomous caterpillar is another thing, and you`re out there wandering around in the dark. If you encounter one of those giant foot long, thick as your thumb, Hayabusa fast, centipedes, you must burn the jungle down. And if you find a nest of Bullet Ants, leave that alone too. Did you never see episodes of Deadly 60 or Kings of Pain?
Quito seems fine from what the locals tell me. As always a few spots tourist need to stay out of.
Not everything I posted, but enough that a trip to the hospital or worse is only 1 bad luck situation of rubbing against the wrong leaf.
Guide told me the real issue with tarantula is the spikes. They get agitated and will shoot the spikes on their back, they carry some sorta poison that will start to dissolve your skin iirc. The bite is the ‘good’ part.Those two giant spiders are bad enough, and that highly venomous caterpillar is another thing, and you`re out there wandering around in the dark.

In one of those episode of the two shows I mentioned, they were exploring a tide pool and found a tiny blue octopus. Turns out this critter is about the size of a toonie and tags you with a neurotoxin bite that will kill you within seconds. I recall them saying out of the top ten most painful or deadly, the majority were in the oceans. They did an episode with the spider spikes, said they were severely painfully irritating. The giant centipede was a real life horror event, it grabbed a bat in flight, hanging from a cave roof. The show presenter was handling it wearing welders gloves and was hyper aware of the strength and speed of the animal... it`s bite is life threatening.
Would that have been a limp in clinic?
