only can remark on a recent visit to Ecuador (January, Villacabamba) ...

no vaccinations were required for us upon entrance, however when we arrived back at the airport for our departing flight, they asked us for vaccination cards before we were allowed to board the flight...they would not let us fly out without proof of vaccination.

I think the issue with the vaccinations on leaving have to do with the country of destination. So if you are planning on ever leaving once you get there, make sure you are flying to a country that doesnt mandate vaccinated passengers from Ecuador (They said it was because of Yellow Fever, but the only Yellow Fever outbreak at the time was in southern Peru and Chile)
