Near the end of his trip he was in Ecquador where one night he was accosted by 2 men: one was a police officer and another was in plain clothes. They bundled him into their car and took him to the nearest cash point whereupon they forced him to withdraw all his remaining funds (about £100). They then returned to their car never to be seen again and my friend had to spend the next week selling vegetarian sandwiches on the streets of Quito to make enough money to get himself to Lima where he was flying back from. Had a right blast meeting people and hitchhiking along the way.
The robbery was a bit scarey, though . . . .
Quite a popular scam that, wouldn't have been a real police officer.

No, my friend assured me that he was a real police officer. Tight blue shirt, hot pants, steel codpiece, cowboy boots and a ribbed, pink truncheon. Standard Ecquadorian police attire, I think you'll find.

My guess is your likely to now hear that the only place worse than south America is hell itself. However I'm sure it will be a great experience, nothing like broadening your horizons
I was hoping that 1 or 2 on here would have spent some time there and enjoyed it...maybe reassured me that its not that bad.
If your son is as naive as you then he's fucked. (read my location)
I'm sure he's more streetwise than you and will have a great time.
Lucky lad. Ask him to bring some coke back .......sniff.
