Why do people move to Guayaquil?
When we asked people why foreigners move to Guayaquil, they responded...
"Temperate climate?? Low crime rate?? Get real. Guayaquil is a big, noisy, dirty, industrial, crime--ridden city with daily temperatures in the mid-to-high 90s, and humidity off the charts. Oh, and don't forget the mosquitos," remarked another expat in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
"Guayaquil is an attractive destination for expats due to its vibrant culture, stunning natural beauty, and affordable cost of living. The city is known for its friendly locals, delicious cuisine, and exciting nightlife. Additionally, the city offers a wide range of activities and attractions, from exploring the historic downtown area to visiting the nearby beaches. With its temperate climate and low crime rate, Guayaquil is an ideal place for expats to settle down and enjoy a relaxed lifestyle," said a member in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
