Retire in Brazil Much like Retiring in Ecuador

17 years ago

Hello, my name is Robert and I was born and raised in New York. I have a mechanical engineering degree and have always been an entrepreneur. My parents and brothers and sisters where all born in Ecuador. I love Ecuador so much I started a tourism company so I can spend as much time as I can here. I am 25 minutes from the capital city of Quito (and like all major cities you have the good and the bad)

The reason I am admitting this info is because Ecuador and Brazil are so BioDiverse, they are like cousins (with the volcanos, coast and Rain forest). Ecuador also has snow on top of some mountains and volcanoes.

The healthcare is excellent in Ecuador. People travel here from USA to Ecuador for different procedures and especially dental. Some facilities are even better then in the US. I had my teeth cleaned for 15 dollars. Dental cost are usually one fifth the price as in the US.

M dad is 76. He arrived 6 years ago and eliminated his battle with diabetes because of the excellent organic food that he eats. He is in great shape, healthy and with a vibrant energy envied by anyone. He definitely will be able to live 20-30 years at this pace. Thanks to the cook who prepares his great diet.

I also had some excess weight and have lost 20 pounds in 1 month without any extreme diet or excercise, simply from eating the organic food daily, that will cost you an arm and a leg in the US.

I currently live and have an Private Villa in Tumbaco, about 25 minutes from Quito. Tumbaco is known to having the wealthy upper class people live. It is more expensive to live in Tumbaco then in other parts because of the climate (but still a lot less costly then staying at the Hilton, Swissotel, Marriot or Sheridan Hotels). It is spring-like weather all year around. It is sunny and 75-85 F everyday. The air is super clean and in a cozy suburban neighborhood that is very safe.

I can rent part of this private villa, if anyone would like to come down to consider to live in Ecuador. Take a look at my website www.mountainviewsinn.com and my email is [email protected] Look foward to helping you if you are interested. My place is fully furnished, with a swimming pool and gameroom. I also am 5 minutes from the Chiche Canyon, a breathtaking place to travel via bike, foot or horse. It is so beautiful here I wouldnt want to be anywhere else. Take a look at my photos in the gallery to get a better idea.

Hope this helps- Robert Bucheli
