The Ultimate Ecuador Week

Ecuador is where most IL readers move to enjoy a top-notch quality of life.

That's hardly surprising. Ecuador has the world's best climate. From snow-capped volcanoes to dense Amazon jungle to sun-drenched Pacific beaches to the famous Galapagos Islands, Ecuador offers something for everyone and at prices unheard of for years in North America and Europe.

If you like the outdoors, have dreamed of owning a Spanish colonial home in a colonial city, or want to spend hours strolling on an undeveloped beach, then Ecuador will be perfect for you.

Combine this with Ecuador’s equatorial sunshine…a choice of spectacular mountain, high plains, jungle or coastal settings…plus the welcoming nature of the Ecuadorian people…and you have a combination of quality of life and investment opportunity that’s hard to beat.

Ecuador is a fascinating place to live at any price. But when a couple can live well here on $600 a month…it's a no-brainer.

That's why, beginning Monday, and for the following five days, we're going to let you in on every secret we know about starting a new life in Ecuador. We're calling it the Ultimate Ecuador Week.

Whether you want to live, invest, vacation, retire, or simply relax in Ecuador, we've got it covered.

Over the coming week, we'll bring you stories from expats who are happily living the good life in this little country…you'll hear from investors who have spotted how to turn a profit (whether it's in the guild villages or the real estate market)…you'll discover the friendliest thriving north American expat community…we'll reveal our experts' best-value real estate picks (including beachfront lots for $20,000)…take a trip to the mountain retreat where the master wood carvers live…and more.

Tomorrow, you'll hear from an IL reader who rents a furnished apartment with great views of a colonial city for $300 a month, everything included (phone, Internet, utilities, cable--everything). And he's not even getting the best deal.

Stay tuned,
