Hello everyone, I retired in May of 2020 and have been planning my retirement move to Ecuador for the past 3 - 4 years, however because of the Covid-19 virus my visit to Ecuador was put on hold. I plan to visit Ecuador this year and stay about 8 weeks. I fly Delta and they only fly into Quito at this time. The flight only comes into Quito at 8:30 pm so I will have to stay there for a couple of days, I have some idea of were I want to visit (now that I have no time line to keep). I would like to know if there are current expats available to meet and get information. Please feel free to contact me. Thank you all.

Hi hrm. Quito is a delightful city to visit. If you only have 2-3 days available you will only get a 'glimpse' of the Old City historic attractions and a little of the city proper. I would suggest a half day excursion on the MiraBus is a good introduction to the city. If you are on the loose and want to take the time to visit the Northern artesan cities of Otavalo, Cotacachi and Ibarra it is worthwhile. by that time you'll be ready for some warm weather and the sea, so a quick flight to Manta is the a good choice. Post on this site if Manta is on you schedule and we can meet up. Cheers!

went to quito on dec 10, did not stay as we live in portoviejo with family on family compound. it is the biggest hotspot for covid there so take extra precautions and you should be fine. came back through 1 month later to go back to florida as we have children in school(on line students) if we can utiize the on line feature better (internet is too intermittent) would like to stay longer as we have strong ties and a great house and family there. as we discover more school options, this might be available. more than christmas and summer.as of now we are limited to 90 days a year

Good afternoon! I am happy to answer any questions you may have. I came to Ecuador in 2009 and bought my condo in Salinas. I have been here 12 years and love it. I own Island Estates International which is a real estate company specializing in sales, rentals and property management. Good luck in your search. You are going to love Ecuador.
