Here an example of what and expatriate comment about his new life in Ecuador
“Since moving to Cuenca, Ecuador, three and a half years ago my wife and I have noticed how simple it has become our life. For us to go abroad and retirement goes hand in hand, so we have attributed this phenomenon to not have races with the stress and pressure that accompanies."
Make that Ecuador is an “overwhelmingly attractive choice” for foreign retirees, in part because “really stretch their dollars there”. You can live comfortably, including the rental category, with $ 1,800 a month.
Another thing that really took him by surprise is how early it gets dark in the United States, while in Ecuador the sun rises and sets around 6:30 every day.
So a case like this is one and many; each year the demand for foreigners interesting to live in Ecuador is very high in and it keeps growing. It is a phenomenon that we can see in specific locations such as Cuenca, Vilcabamba Valley, Cotacachi, Cumbaya, Salinas, and Manta principally.
What do the local people think about all of this?
This answer is always easy to respond because, in terms of the local economy, it is perfect but the cost of living has increased very fast, becoming for the locals a big problem since their salaries are much less than an expatriate from abroad. This issue is difficult to stop and control.
We also know that real estate in Ecuador and the construction industries are happy with this new niche because this expat niche is wide enough and select than the local buyers. We believe that many real estate companies are selecting properties to be advertised outside Ecuador focused mainly in the United States and Canada.
How many foreigners Live in Ecuador?

In addition, in Ecuador, they would have a comfortable life, making this a primary reason for many people from all over the world to look for the relocation in Ecuador as an option to save money and live safely. In resume, this niche is helping Ecuador economy and giving direct and indirect employs to at least 50,000 locals. We hope that this new touristic activity continues and bring more incomes to develop the country and to keep dollars as our national currency.
