What is the social scene like in Cotacachi?

When we asked people living in Cotacachi about the social scene there, they described it saying...

"Very broad question. Single, married, age group, sophistication, how much of the world you have seen," explained one expat living in Cotacachi, Ecuador.

"There are lots of pros and cons to Ecuador of which I'm sure you are already aware. But one of the most important is to be aware that you will be coming to a non-English-speaking country. As tourism is not a huge factor here and the majority of the citizens don't travel much out of South America, learning English is not a priority or even of much use. My Spanish was fluent, if not perfect, when I moved here so I had a huge advantage. When you come, unless you are at least conversational in Spanish be prepared to feel some isolation that comes from the lack of an easy ability to communicate with the culture you came to visit. The other option would be to find a group of ex-pats and hang out with them speaking English. Neither my wife nor any of her family or my Ecuadorian friends speaks any English. I can go for weeks without speaking my mother tongue. By all means come, the adventure is wonderful but come with your eyes open," said another in Cotacachi, Ecuador.
