When we asked people why foreigners move to Ecuador, they responded...

"The tranquil and economical lifestyle on the beach in San Jacinto, small fishing village community and easy access (45 minute drive South) to Manta airport," explained one expat living in San Jacinto, Ecuador.

"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," said another in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
