What do I need to know before moving to Crucita?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Crucita, they said...

"We have always been told by people who live here, to come down and rent for at least a year. Doing this, allows you to see the area and lifestyle of the area before you spend a lot of money buying a property. We have found that to be very good advice. Good luck. Don't worry, you will love Ecuador," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Crucita, Ecuador.

"Crucita is a small coastal town known for its beautiful beaches and relaxed lifestyle. Before moving there, expats should know that Spanish is the primary language spoken, so learning some basic Spanish phrases would be beneficial. The cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but it's important to budget for unexpected expenses. The local cuisine is heavily seafood-based, with dishes like ceviche being very popular. The healthcare system in Ecuador is generally good, but it may be advisable to have health insurance that covers medical treatment abroad. Public transportation is available, but it may not be as reliable or frequent as in larger cities. Crucita is a popular spot for paragliding due to its ideal wind conditions, so it's a great place for outdoor enthusiasts. The weather is typically warm and humid, with a rainy season from December to May. It's important to note that Crucita is a small town, so while it has basic amenities, it doesn't have the same level of services or entertainment options as a larger city. The local culture is friendly and welcoming, but it's important to respect local customs and traditions. Safety is generally not a major concern in Crucita, but like anywhere, it's important to take basic precautions, especially at night. Lastly, expats should be aware that while internet service is available, it may not be as fast or reliable as they are used to," commented one expat who made the move to Crucita, Ecuador.
