So you’ve got the moving to Ecuador bug! You lie
awake at night
counting blue-footed boobies instead of sheep! Maybe the
evening news in your country reinforces the idea that a move to Ecuador
is the sane thing to do: housing stock market crashes, bank
failures, recession, depression, bailouts, crime, extreme weather--the
list of problems is long and getting worse.
If you are thinking,
"There has to be a better place to live, a safer, more gentle way of
life," then maybe
moving to Ecuador is the answer!
We invite you to join us for what may be one of the best
investments you could make in your or your family's future.
We love trading. Let
us help you trade your high cost of living for one of the lowest in the
world. Trade your stress for peace and
tranquility, your freeway gridlock for walks on the beach, and your
harsh winters or sweltering summers for the land of eternal spring.
“I've gotta get out of here!
Maybe I
should move to Ecuador!”

But what to do? Where to turn? What do I do
first?
For anyone
contemplating a move to Ecuador, Pro-Ecuador's
Moving to Ecuador: Introductory Course and Real Estate Tour
is the perfect way to quickly gain the 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!”
There's plenty of free information on this website and blog about
moving to Ecuador and living in Ecuador. In addition, our
Introductory Course and Real Estate Tour is designed to help you
assimilate even more practical information and on-the-ground insights
you need to make an informed decision.

to Ecuador Intro tour.
We work with a team of experts who can answer your questions if we
can't. You will meet
expats who have made
the move. One
of the best ways to understand what moving to Ecuador is all about is
to talk to the people who have already done it.
These are some of the questions and topics we will cover.
- Which
residency visa is best for me? How much money
will a 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
trade-offs? Who can help me? What will it cost?
- How
good is public transportation. How does it work?
Is it safe?
- What
about the Ecuador culture? Will my family fit
in? Be accepted into the culture? Is it safe to
live here?
Visit Some of
Ecuador’s Primary
Expatriate Communities: Quito, Cotacachi, the Beaches of
Manabi, and Colonial Cuenca

In addition to answering your personal 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,
we will make arrangements to accommodate your request after either of
the extensions.
This Course & Ecuador
Real Estate Tour is
Tailor-Made to Fit Participants’ Desires
Other tours pack you on a bus and just show you a bunch of properties.
Our Introduction
to Ecuador Course and Tour will be limited to 12 -14
people,
each of whom will be solicited for input to determine the exact type
of information that interests them most.
We may even rearrange
our itinerary to insure that you get what you
want, instead of what we think you "might" be interested
in.
Unlike some other Ecuador travel tours, we are in the business of
selling real estate. not just showing it. Therefore, we have
a concerted interest
to show you properties that meet you needs. We
know the market, we know how to negotiate, and we aim to
please!
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,
cultural events,
and stunning landscapes, while you savor
Ecuador's unique customs and gentle people.
Everything
except international airfare, liquor, tips and personal purchases are
included in the price of the tour. Our
guarantee? No unwanted surprises. Who
says learning can't be fun?!
When the tour is over, you will be better equipped 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! Prepare for Moving to Ecuador!
Read what one of last year's tour participants had to say:
"My
husband and I had been researching Ecuador for over a year as a
possible place for retirement. After all of our research, we choose www.pro-ecuador.com
because it provided us with the most information about Ecuador and it
really appealed to us...It was a well-organized and
coordinated real estate tour...
"We were
provided with wonderful accommodations, consumed incredibly fresh and
delicious Ecuadorian cuisine, and saw some amazing places through the
country. It was beyond
our expectations.
"The beauty
of the land and the people are hard to explain unless you experience it
for yourself. Pro-Ecuador enhanced our experience and we
recommend that if you have never journeyed to Ecuador, or even if you
have,
Pro-Ecuador
will provide you with, we believe, the best over all view of Ecuador
and
Ecuador real estate.
Gary
and Linda are very genuine, warm, caring, fun
individuals who will provide you with answers to all your questions, and if they don't know an answer,
they will find it out for you." Cindy and Jim,
Phoenix
------------------------------
"I
want to tell
you how much I enjoyed my trip. You were both wonderful hosts
in
Ecuador. Your knowledge and understanding of the country was
a
great introduction to this lovely country. It was a joy to discover all the
new things with you and to see it through your eyes.
"Your shared information for properties in the different areas was a
good way to get an overview of the situation in Ecuador. I
saw
and learned a lot, enough to feel like we are making a good decision to
move there and learn more for ourselves." Kirsten, now living
in
Cuenca.
