About Moving to Ecuador
Honest, comprehensive relocation resources for anyone considering a new life in Ecuador.
Our Mission
Moving to another country is one of the most exciting — and overwhelming — decisions you'll ever make. We built Moving to Ecuador because the information out there is scattered, outdated, or buried in forums from 2015.
This site exists to give you clear, current, actionable answers. Whether you're a remote worker eyeing Cuenca, a family considering Quito, a retiree looking at the coast, or a digital nomad exploring South America — we've got you covered.
Every guide on this site uses current 2026 data, verified against official Ecuadorian government sources, expat communities, and our own on-the-ground experience.
What We Believe

No sugarcoating. We cover the good, the bad, and the "nobody tells you this" stuff.
For Everyone
Not just retirees. Remote workers, families, digital nomads, and adventurers welcome.
Current Data
Every guide uses 2026 data. No recycled posts from a decade ago.

We're expats ourselves. This isn't theory — it's lived experience.
