Just arrive in Ecu. 3 days ago and staying at hostel in Cuenca with my wife and 4 year old son. I am from USA, Arizona and wife Manila.

I am used to all sorts of climates but her the chill of the rain is a bit much and at 71 but in good health oh and a country boy
We will look around but are seriously considering Vilcabamba and/or Loja. Lower altitude and smaller with a country atmosphere..
Read about the Vila situation with "hippies" not a problem and their life style is their life style...its' the locals and their culture that I embrace.
So my expat friends would you be so kind as to lead us to some expats in Vila or Loja with whom we can go there and have social discussion as to the pros and cons...My bones are strong but the chill is a challenge and any hint of mold will be a detriment to our 4yr. old son and my young Filipino wife...thank you and God Bless.

Harold, RV and Kris.

If you wish a PM then please advise as I will be happy to do that and/or SMS message or Viber which is the best all free text and voice calling all over the world...from Viber to Viber...let me know ...
