Maybe 10% tourist of anglo Saxon decent. Many Catholics. They love the English lalnguage & white skinned people for the most part. Very accepting & caring people.
This reminds me of America 40 years ago. Construcrion is booming. Restaurants are all over the place. Many banks as would be expected.
Family is extremely important! So is Soccer, Volleyball & Jogging. People work hard but make up any reason, or holiday to start a party & DANCE!
Bring whatever technology items you can w you bc they are very expensive here. If your car is less than 4 years old you can bring that, if it has a smaller engine.

Moving to Ecuador: 14 Things to Know Before Moving to Ecuador
Expats in Ecuador offer advice to newcomers and people considering a move to Ecuador about clothing, sunscreen, renting before buying, gringo pricing, Ecuadorians politeness and much more.
My understanding regarding the importation of vehicles is that they need to be the same model year (2011 or newer), under 2 liters of displacement and have a sales price (invoice) of under $20,000. There are few, if any vehicles other than subcompacts that meet those parameters such as any 4x4 crossover vehicle or the Jeep Wrangler, for example. In addition, the emissions control systems, airbags, safety systems etc are different. I do not believe the warranties are valid internationally either. I have also been here for almost 2 1/2 years and have yet to me anyone who brought a vehicle with them. You can buy a Nissan Sentra, which is a rock-solid vehicle used all over Asia for taxi service, for under $15,000 including taxes. Not fancy, but reliable and easily repaired.
guestDont bring anything. If they dont have it here, you dont need it
guestWhat type cancer did you have and what exactly was the treatment?
guestThe only people who can import a car to Ecuador that is more than one year old are former Ecuadorians who are moving back. And those cars are free of duty and taxes. Everyone else is limited to cars of the current or previous model year and the taxes and duty can be as much as 50% or the car's value plus the shipping costs. I have a 2011 Prius and it would cost almost as much as the car is worth to import it to Ecuador.
