Hi – my wife Jenn and I are beginning the process of checking out ‘suitable’ retirement locales in Ecuador for three to four months out of the year; most likely from mid-November to around the end of March (to get away from the cold, dreary Canadian winters). We are very interested in what we’ve heard about Ecuador so far, except for the weather. We are tentatively planning on visiting Ecuador next year to check things out. Might anyone ‘in-the-know’ advise us about possible locations to scout out that might satisfy the following criteria and save us some time and $ in our search?
– time of year – mid-November to end of March (give or take a couple of weeks)
– weather (this is our most important criteria!) – warm and mostly sunny during the day with an acceptable range of 70 – 85 degrees or so, not too humid, cooler at night is fine
– not in a city but preferably near (e.g., 30 – 60 miles or so) to one. In or near a village or small town is okay
– great view (prefer ocean but mountains or other panoramic vista would be quite acceptable)
– not too ‘buggy’
– housing/accommodations would offer the basic amenities but not too rustic(e.g., electricity, internet, phone, running water, etc.) and grocery/produce shopping nearby
Thanks in advance…
