Ecuador is a choice, but they’d be launching towards the east over the Ecuador mountains and Brazil - Any prob lems and you’re bombarding IRBM parts on Brazil.

But, that could be a viable jungle landing site too for SpaceX.

Getting the rocket boosters out of the jungle, back to the seacoast (barge to Cape Canaveral or West Coast US? Getting satellites and boosters and upper stages to/from Ecuador at what port? Through Panama Canal takes a bit longer, costs canal fees of several hundred thousands dollars for the ship.

I don’t think SpaceX would be interested until the BFR rocket is operational. It could fly to any spaceport in the world.
