What do I need to know before retiring in Ecuador?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Ecuador, they said...
"I just spent 5 weeks just a couple kilometers north of Crucita. Beaches and climate were some of the best I have experienced. Crucita is more crowded but if you get north of the new marina (under construction) its almost deserted as far as you can see. I jogged north about a mile and was the same as far as I went. Some condos on the beach in that area but they are mostly empty and even on weekends not a lot of activity. I liked it so much I am going back the end of the year," explained one expat living in Crucita, Ecuador.
