How Much Does it Cost to Retire in Ecuador?

Ecuador is known for its natural beauty, friendly people, great medical facilities and reasonable cost of living. Nestled in the Andes Mountains, Cuenca with its charming colonial architecture, and 70-degree year-round temperatures, is attracting people from all over the world to make their home here.
An average budget for a short-term resident staying less than 3 months, renting a private room in the city center at cheaper hotels, and eating out most meals at cheaper restaurants is less than $1,200 per month.
Cuenca Ecuador Retirement Community
Expats living long-term in Cuenca report living an upper-middle-class lifestyle for around $940 a month per person.
In this video, we’ll hear from local residents about their cost of living in Cuenca Ecuador, the cheapest place to live in Ecuador, the cost of living in Ecuador, Cuenca Ecuador rentals and Cuenca Ecuador real estate.

Living Overseas TV I booked a "scouting" trip to Cuenca next month, October to see if I would like to live there. What are some good Expat Hangouts where I can meet people, and get know some of the insider tips that Gringos should know? TY for the COL vid!

70-degree year-round temperatures sounds amazing! I never thought about living in Ecuador but after watching this video, it kind of makes me consider it. Housing costs are very affordable.

@LivingOverseasTV 5 лет назад

@DeedsResearcher 5 лет назад

70 degrees is the average daytime temp. At night it averages about 50. Thus, you don't need heat nor air conditioning! Growing season is year-round in the Andes mountains, so the cost of produce is very low.

I was in charge of sales for Latin America for over 20 years. Ecuador is on the top of my list. Cuenca is where my distributors main office is and I’m seriously considering getting a home there. The only other place I would consider is Antigua guatemala. It’s closer to the usa in terms of flights but there many Europeans living there and the housing costs are very high. I believe Cuenca is the place for overall advantages

I like that fireplace in the center of the living room! super cheap! How do you find these people to interview? Who's the woman narrating? Man, $8 for water?!? unbelievable!! I'm paying like $200 here in California.

@LivingOverseasTV 5 лет назад

I was in Ecuador for 3 months working on this project so I had the chance to meet many of the expats there. Out of everywhere, I've been, I think the expats in Ecuador and Cuenca are some of the most friendly and welcoming. The woman narrating is Rachel Alena, rachel@bigbitestudio.com She is great to work with. I'll have more Ecuador locations coming out in the future.

@@LivingOverseasTV I really don't have any particular place in mind the places I've been to are all beautiful and peaceful. When I do go majority time I spent in Quito, Latacunga, Ambato, Ibarra, los Valles. I am pretty sure Healthcare is available anywhere in Ecuador cities depending on what you want to spend. Just wondering if there's any other EX packs living in these other places besides Cuenca. I know is a beautiful city but they have to be other towns that offer the same thing as Cuenca.

@lephilosopheinconnu3952 3 года назад

I don't think it would affect the country directly. The use of the American dollar as official currency what it does is give more steadiness to local economy so we DON'T have to worry about money exchange and crazy overnight inflation. If that happens, I hope not, it would not affect us directly by any means.

I have thought of moving to Ecuador for over a year. The Central Valley appeals to me, but it is at an apparently high altitude. I have a mild case of COPD. Would it be difficult to walk around in an area that high?

@LivingOverseasTV 5 лет назад

Ruth Malony, I think it would be hard for you. With that being said, I know some people that have breathing problems and have adapted to the higher altitude without a problem. You may be able to visit a mountain town near you for a trial to see how your body handles the thinner air. Keep in mind that a couple of weeks at altitude your body will go through a lot of adaptation and it will be easier.

@triaticnomadics1108 5 лет назад

Hi Ruth, you might consider visiting and see how the altitude affects you. If you still want to move and the mountains don't work for you, you might consider the coast. It is dry and does not rain a whole lot.

While Comparing Cuenca Ecuador to Medellin Colombia which is best city to relocate according to your point of view. I had searched a lot both but could not find the exact opinion. Could you please help in this regards?

@LivingOverseasTV 5 лет назад

Very good question. It depends on what you are looking for. Cuenca is at a higher altitude so it is much cooler most of the time. It is also much smaller so it has a small-town feel compared to Medellin. Medellin feels much more like a big city and has a lot more of what a city has to offer both good and bad. My short answer is if you like big cities than Medellin Colombia is a better choice. If you like family-oriented smaller towns, than Cuenca may be better. The best thing to do is to go visit both to see which one is right for you. Next year we will start putting out some videos about Medellin, Colombia.
