=== [[Peru]] ===
All border crossing crossings are ordered roughly from West to East. Ecuador and Perú had a border dispute as recent as 1999, so perhaps be sensitive on the issue. This is not a comprehensive list of border crossings, as there are many more, but most of these will have immigration offices to process international visitors.
'''Huaquillas to Aguas Verdes''' is probably a local border crossing between the two countries, not suitable for foreign passports. The border is the bridge over the Zarumilla river. The location of immigration offices is unknown. Please add information if you've hitched this. Perhaps take the next border crossing instead:
'''Rio Canchis/La Balza''' from Zumba, Ecuador on the E682, to Namballe, Perú on the 5N. Immigration offices are 400 meters apart over a bridge. Let us know if you hitched this border!
'''Río Santiago''' perhaps there is a river boat from Jempekat/Soldado Monge in Ecuador via the Rio Santiago and the Rio Marañon to Saramiriza in Perú. There seems to be both a Peruvian and an Ecuadorian settlement at the border, which is perhaps a military base or an immigration office. Let us know if you crossed the border here!
'''Río Pastaza''' perhaps there is a river boat from between [[Puyo]] and Macas in Ecuador down the Río Pastaza (border town named Andoas), to San Lorenzo/Yurimaguas in Perú. Let us know if you're aware this route exists!
'''Río Napo''' between Nuevo Rocafuerte/[[El Coca]] in Ecuador and Cabo Pantoja/[[Iquitos]] in Perú. [[User:MOAH|Mind of a Hitchhiker]] crossed this border in May 2017 in opposite direction and wrote extensively about this trip and made a video [https://mindofahitchhiker.com/iquitos-peru-coca-ecuador-river-boat/ here]! Immigration offices are in Nuevo Rocafuerte and Cabo Pantoja.
'''Güeppi''' is the (northernmost) Peruvian town on the tri-border with Ecuador and Colombia on the banks of the river Putumayo. There is a Peruvian military base here. To enter via Ecuador, enter the Putumayo river from the town Puerto El Carmen de Putumayo, or another village at the river connected by road. Getting here via any of the Ecuadorian or Colombian rivers would be both an incredible adventure and a hassle. One can follow the Río Putumayo downstream until Tarapaca in Colombia on the border with Brazil. Eventually, the river will enter the majestic Amazon river. Let us know if you did it!
=== [[Colombia]] ===
All border crossings are ordered roughly from West to East. Ecuador was formed from the former country Gran Colombia and the flags of Ecuador, Colombia and [[Venezuela]] are nearly the same design, indicating their common history. The following list of border crossings isn't comprehensive.
'''Mataje''' roughtly from San Lorenzo in Ecuador on the E10 to Espriella/Tumaco in Colombia on the ruta 10. WARNING! This border crossing is rather new, and at the time of research (June 2017) it wasn't clear yet if the border crossing had been opened yet. It was announced in 2014 and the project would take two years to finish, so ideally it should be done already. It crosses the Río Mataje. Let us know if this fresh border crossing has been opened to international travelers already and how it was to hitchhike it!
