What do people like (and dislike) about Manta?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Manta, they replied...
"Beautiful country. Generally likable and welcoming communities. Spectacular and plentiful fresh food available. 12 hour days all year long, with warm weather all year. An enormous variety of activities, places, and natural wonders to explore. The OCEAN," remarked another expat who made the move to Manta, Ecuador.
"Would like more entertainment options. Friendly expats and welcoming locals. The city has good transportation options, country and international bus connections and airlines. Can buy anything needed without going to large city yet small enough that it is easy to get around and can walk to essential places for shopping and doing business," explained one expat living in Manta, Ecuador.
