Services for everyone considering visiting or living in ecuador
Helping others understand Ecuador and make informed decisions has become my purpose.
Cuisine
Ecuadorian cuisine is simple, fresh, and regional, centered on everyday ingredients like rice, potatoes, plantains, seafood, and locally grown vegetables. It’s affordable, filling, and mildly seasoned, with flavors shaped by the coast, the Andes, and the Amazon rather than heavy spices.
Natural Diversity
Ecuador has extraordinary natural diversity, with the Amazon rainforest, Andean mountains, Pacific coastline, and the Galápagos Islands all within a small geographic area. This range of climates and landscapes allows people to choose between tropical heat, mild spring-like weather, or cooler mountain environments year-round.
Culture and Community
Ecuador’s culture is rooted in family, tradition, and everyday social connection, where relationships and community matter more than speed or status. People are generally warm and welcoming, making it easy for newcomers to feel included and build a sense of belonging.
