Ecuador: Importing guns:

Firearms or ammunition may NOT be owned or imported into Ecuador. The only exception is; if you are a farmer, you can own one shotgun and you must have a permit which are exceedingly difficult to obtain. If you have a job in law enforcement it may be possible. But unlike the US, Ecuador is not a gun owning country.

Ecuador Welcome Forum: Looking for an apartment in Ecuador:

As we say in the US, you are putting the cart before the horse. You need to spend time in Ecuador, first to see if it suits you, second, find a community where you would like to live. Then and only then worry about finding an apartment or house to rent.

Ecuador Welcome Forum: Moving My Belongings To Ecuador:

Some bring all their personal belongings in boxes or suitcases, others ship everything in a container. If shipping by container is your choice, you need to contact a shipper like Allied Van Lines where you now live. They can handle the entire move. You must wait until you have a residence visa to ship a container or you will pay import duty or at least a substatial deposit; up to $10,000 that will be refunded once you have your residence visa.

Ecuador: Bicycle shops:

Someone inquired recently about the location of bike shops in Cuenca, so I have been keeping my good eye peeled and this is what I know for sure. There is a bike shop on Ave. Dias de Augusto one block east of Solano. There are 3 bike shops on Remegio Crespo within 3 blocks west of Solano. There is a bike shop on Ordonez Lazo just west of the traffic circle at Ave de Las Americas.
