Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Ecuador accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Ecuador and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"I believe that the people here are warm and accepting. I certainly have not come across any hostilities to expats. They are very eager to be of helping nature," said another expat in Cuenca, Ecuador.
"Ibarra is considered pretty diverse as far as Ecuador is concerned. The largest group is Mestiza at 75% with an equal amount of Afro, Indegena and Blanca...all at about 8%. There is lots of commerce here and it is surprising to me how quickly people here adapt to the internet and other technologies so readily. I forget that the US was once technology illterate," wrote a member who made the move to Ibarra, Ecuador.
