Explore Retirement Options in Ecuador
per person
We have done a variety of different itineraries for small groups over the years, to help explore some of the wonderful options Ecuador has to offer.
Below is an overview of a sample itinerary that you may want to consider looking at. If you would like some help putting it together, we would be happy to arrange the entire thing or just parts for your group, depending on your time, budget and other preferences. We can also just help out by booking accommodations and transportation.
There is also the option of adding in speakers, as noted below – 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!
