dth0126Nice introduction to Cotacachi, Greg. I'll have my first opportunity to visit your beautiful town in early February for a stay of 10 days before I depart for Cuenca to volunteer teaching English to school kids. It would be nice to meet with an expat for a chat. Any hangouts or gatherings that are routine I can check out and get acquainted? Hope to see you next month. --s/David from football weary OH...IO
dth0126Thanks, Gary for your insights and info on Cotacachi. I'll be arriving in Cotacachi this Saturday for a couple of weeks before departing to Cuenca to help teach some kids English in nearby Turi. Hope to bump into you in the marketplace. Dave @ [email protected]
guestMy husband and I are having a house built between Cotacachi and Otavalo, in Tierra Firme. It should be finished in December, so we plan to go to Ecuador in January. We haven't firmed up our plans yet as to how much time we will spend there or whether we will apply for a sedula or not. The slow pace that you described here in this page really appeals to us. We hope to meet you and your wife in January. Mike & Gretchen Donahue
guestHi Gary.. very nice article.. I was just there.. 3 times.. just a beautiful place... I will return in the fall.. Hope to see you there... Saludos Michael...
guestHi, Gary, What a great article and lifestyle!!!!!! Just what I'm looking for. I, too, am a happily retired teacher turned educational writer. I need a quiet place like Cotacachi to settle down. Will be there in 4 weeks after a seminar in Quito. Do you by chance know another teacher who left US and eventually started a series of language schools there? I'd like to get in touch with him.
