Urcuqui Land Rush

14 years ago
It appears at least from a promoters point of view the land rush may be on the move in Urcuqui. Gary Scott's email today reported that delegates from Jean's tours were recently there and that the mayor answered questions which included what happens when he is out of office?

The mayor also stated that there are only 2 police officers for the approximate 9000 inhabitants.

The mayor also stated that people in Urcuqui regularly live to 120 - I wonder if anyone asked him about documentation as to that fact?

Gringos moving in will also mean Ecuadorians from other parts will move in - to cash in on opportunities.

It will be interesting to see what happens here - I am sure Boncur will have some insightful observations - I would pay attention to her.

Remember that in an area this small that most of the people are related in some way and they will know all your business. While this is the same in many parts of the world - it is my opinion that knowing other peoples business and talking about it - is much more pronounced in Ecuador.
