What do I need to know before retiring in Cuenca?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Cuenca, they said...
"Before retiring in Cuenca, expats should consider the cost of living and the local economy. Cuenca is known for its pleasant climate, affordability and a range of activities, so it is important to understand the local culture and language. Healthcare is generally considered to be of high-quality and available at a fraction of the cost that one may pay in their home country. Furthermore, it may be helpful to look into the safety and security situation in Cuenca prior to retiring in the city," wrote a member who made the move to Cuenca, Ecuador, Ecuador.
