pro-ecuador.com, International living, Gary Scott, ecuador relocation services and a host of others springing up like weeds are doing their best to exploit this beautiful country and ruin things for the locals. If they were really 'pro-ecuador' they would leave the country to those like me that were bold enough to go there and find out information for themselves. Instead now they are promoting real estate, condos, gated communities and now even retirement homes for the elderly! What this does is to price the locals out of their own real estate market and leads to resentment! Ecuador is a beautiful country with alot to offer but if you are not interested in blending in with the local population and speaking Spanish please consider other destinations that have already been ruined like Costa Rica or Boquette in Panama!
