Move to Ecuador with a Clear Starting Point: Cuenca
Cuenca is one of the most popular cities for expats in Ecuador. Located in the Andes region, it is surrounded by beautiful mountains and known for its walkability, cleanliness, established international community and its slower pace of lifestyle.
Starting here makes it easier to understand where to live, what things cost, and what daily life actually feels like before exploring other parts of Ecuador.
