How Much Does IT Really Cost To Live In Cuenca

10 years ago

Hi,

I have been reading this exchange in anticipation to learn what it really costs to live in Ecuador. I know rents are all over the place but let's say a two bedroom 2 bath apartment in a safe section of town, Full internet/phone/TV service, Basic groceries such as coffee, milk, eggs, chicken, veggies. Do you need to soak the greens to avoid tapeworm. I have a friend who had to do that when she lived in Guayaquil 30 years ago. Also, if you are not a citizen and are in an auto accident do you automatically go to jail? Cost of clothes, dining out once or twice a week, the cinema, et al.

I hate surprsises. If anyone has alreay prepared this budget, I would be very grateful if the shared it with me.

Thank you

AJ
