Hi Barry, unfortunately about the only way to get a dog that size to Ecuador is for him/her to travel as cargo. I traveled all over Latin America with my 90-lb. lab that way, and I think it was more traumatic for me than him. We only flew him on direct flights. So in other words, we flew from Omaha to Miami and overnighted there and flew to Ecuador the next day. I think your only other options are to hire a private plane to fly you… and that would be cost prohibitive. Or drive to Panama and charter a boat to take you to Colombia… and then continue the drive from there. I think that would be more traumatic than being in the cargo hold. Those are about your only options… unless, of course, you get the dog certified as a service dog so it can fly with you in the plane..
