Explore Retirement Options in Ecuador

This full itinerary will be published prior to mid-December – and you may want to put that in your calendar, as we have heard a lot of demand for this, so we will be running our first itinerary in February 2022!

Here is a sampling of what we are going to be visiting to explore as retirement options, including visits from expats in different locations and the service providers that make their  lives abroad that much easier and better, while making their savings stretch.

These are also some of the best highlights of the country, so you may want to join in even if you are not considering living in Ecuador part of full time!
