Pro-Ecuador's Moving to Ecuador
Introduction
Course and Tour
So you’ve got the bug! You lie awake at night
counting blue-footed boobies instead of sheep! Moving to Ecuador is
on your mind, and every time you turn on the evening news, the message
is reinforced.
Housing markets crash, stock markets crash, banks fail, recession,
depression, bailouts, politicians squealing about each other, but to no
avail.
“I just have to move,
there has to be a better place.
Maybe I
should move to Ecuador”
But what to do? Where to turn? What to do I do
first?
“I
don’t know the first thing about Ecuador,”
you’ve been telling yourself, and so you have been reading
books and everything available on the Internet.
If you are contemplating a move to Ecuador, Pro-Ecuador’s Introduction
to Ecuador Course and Tour is the perfect way to quickly
assimilate the vital knowledge needed to make an informed and
life-changing decision.
“Wow, here are some
people who have done it. They made the move, they know the
ropes, and they want to help me.”
We are delighted to offer this program. Not only does our
website have a wealth of information, our Introduction
to Ecuador Course and Tour is specifically designed to
help you gain on-the-ground information you need to make an informed
decision about moving to Ecuador.
We will cover virtually every detail you need to make the right
decision:
- Which
residence visa is best for me? How much money
with the visa cost?
- What
about health care and insurance? Can I feel
secure that my medical needs will be met?
- Is
the political situation stable? Do I have to
worry about my property rights and personal freedoms? Is the
President of Ecuador really a socialist? And what is a
socialist, anyway?
- Is
the banking system safe? How do I open an
account, transfer money, get a loan?
- What
about jobs and working? Are there investment
opportunities for me in Ecuador?
- How
much will it cost to buy and operate a car? Do I
need one? Can I get a drivers license?
How? What about public transportation?
- Where
are the best places to live? How do I buy Ecuador real
estate? What are the property laws? How do I find a
trustworthy attorney? If I buy a property, can I
rent it out when I’m not here? Where can I find an
architect and builder?
- How
low is the cost of living? Should I ship my
personal belongings or buy in Ecuador? What are the tradeoffs?
- Is
it true that I need to learn how to negotiate for fruits and vegetables?
How do I do that?
- What
about the Ecuador culture? Will my family fit
in? Be accepted into the culture? Is it safe to
live here?
- Do
I need to speak Spanish? Can I get by with
English only? What do I need to learn?
Visit Ecuador’s Primary
Expatriate Communities: Quito, Cotacachi, and Colonial Cuenca
In addition to personally answering all your questions, we will show
you four of the most desirable expat locations in Ecuador.
For those who want to extend their trip south to Vilcabamba, the Valley of Longevity, or to the beaches of Manabi
we are offering a choice of two-three day extensions to accomodate your request.
This Course & Tour is
Tailor-Made to Fit Participants’ Desires
Other tours just show you a bunch of properties. Our Introduction
to Ecuador Course and Tour will be limited to 12 people,
each of whom will be contacted in advance to determine the exact type
of information that interests them most.
We will tailor the course & tour to the needs and desires of
the group. After our phone and email discussions, we may even
shift our itinerary to insure that you get what you want,
instead of what we think you “might” be interested
in.
And when your brain has reached its maximum input for the day, we will
whisk you away to balance
body, mind and soul with exhilarating hikes, incredible gourmet food,
and stunning landscapes, while you capture the flavor of
Ecuador’s unique customs.
When the tour is finished, you
will be ready to decide if this small country is going to
be your new home, or home away from home. You will have all
the tools you need. The
only thing that
remains is ACTION!
The cost of this six-night, 7 day all-inclusive course/excursion is
only $1,379 per
person. Consider it the best investment you
could make in your family’s future. What could be more exciting than
a new life in a new culture?
Add $149 for single supplement.
The three day Vilcabamba
extension is priced at $478, the three day beach extension is $495.
Add $50 for single supplement.
Price includes all meals, all in-country transportation (three
flights), and virtually every expense you may have, except for personal
items, tips, alcoholic beverages, and purchases. No
surprises!
If your family or a small group of friends want to have a more private
Intro tour/course, we can make special arrangements for you.
