Ecuador | Aug. 24 - 30 | Guayaquil, Salinas & Montañita 🇪🇨

Imagine a place where the weather is always perfect, the US dollar is the currency, and the homes feel just like yours—but with ocean views, vibrant markets, and a slower, sun-soaked pace of life. Ecuador might not be on your radar yet, but it’s one of the most expat-friendly countries in the world, offering modern comforts alongside breathtaking landscapes and a low cost of living.

This 7-day immersive tour is your chance to discover what life in Ecuador could look like for you. Join a small group of like-minded future expats as we explore Guayaquil, Salinas, and Montañita—three destinations that showcase the best of Ecuador’s coastal living. Move beyond the tourist trail and see how easy it is to build a life in this welcoming, affordable, and vibrant country.

What You’ll Experience:

• Step inside rental apartments and homes to see what’s available at different price points. What’s included? What’s missing? We’ll walk through real options so you know what to expect.
• Meet with a local real estate agent who will explain lease agreements, contracts, and what’s standard for renters in Ecuador.
• Explore local markets, pharmacies, and everyday services to get a real feel for the rhythm of life here.
• Spend time in Montañita, where we’ll take a hands-on cooking class to experience Ecuadorian culture firsthand—because culture isn’t just something you observe; it’s something you live.

Why This is Different from Going Alone:
If you’ve spent hours researching cost of living, residency options, and the best cities to move to, you already know that Google can only take you so far.

• Most people don’t know what to look for until they’re already here.
• Some places feel great for a vacation—but are they right for daily life?
• This experience isn’t about just “seeing” Ecuador—it’s about knowing whether you could actually live here.
