Why Ecuador?

Ecuador has been the #1 Retirement Country In The World for the past 2 years. Following are some of the reasons contributing to that... 

• Climate: On average the climate of North Central coast of Ecuador is very mild. Temperatures average 76°F (25°C) to 90°F (30°C).There are NEVER severe coastal storms in Ecuador.
• Medical Care: Ecuador has 1st world medical care available in Ecuador at unbelievably inexpensive prices.
• Currency: The U.S. Dollar is the standard currency in Ecuador.
• Language: Spanish, although many people want to practice their English too :) 
• Cost: LOW - there is a common misconception that you must have alot of money to live. Ecuador is one of those countries that stomps all over that myth. Paradise and luxury does not require monetary wealth.

  International Living magazine has called Ecuador the least expensive place on earth to retire.
