The Truth About Ecuador: IL’s Number One Retirement Haven in 2010

ecuador-album

It’s official: Ecuador is the best place to live in the world. This little country came top of IL’s Global Retirement Index just three days ago.

This country truly is a retirement paradise. It has the world’s best climate. From snow-capped volcanoes to dense Amazon jungle to sun-drenched Pacific beaches to the famous Galapagos Islands, there’s something for everyone—at prices unheard of for years in North America and Europe.

You can enjoy a four-course lunch for $2. A taxi ride in the capital, Quito, costs a dollar. Stay in a nice hotel for less than $20…or get a 30-minute massage for $15.

If you like the outdoors, have dreamed of owning a Spanish colonial home in a colonial city, or want to spend hours strolling on an undeveloped beach, then Ecuador will be perfect for you.

Combine this with Ecuador’s equatorial sunshine…a choice of spectacular mountain, high plains, jungle or coastal settings…plus the welcoming nature of the Ecuadorian people…and you have a combination of quality of life and investment opportunity that’s hard to beat.

Ecuador is a fascinating place to live at any price. But when a couple can live well here on less than $600 a month…it’s a no-brainer.

That’s why, beginning Monday, and for the following five days, we’re going to let you in on the unvarnished truth about Ecuador. We’re calling it the Ultimate Ecuador Week.

Over the coming week, we’ll bring you the real truth from expats who are living in this little country. In the meantime, you can read the full Retirement Index article for 2010 here.

P.S. Ecuador is the newly-crowned world’s best retirement haven. To celebrate, we’re releasing the Ultimate Ecuador Kit, which includes the new Ecuador Owner’s Manual. You also get an exclusive free bonus: The Ultimate Ecuador Forum—a three-hour audio session with our top Ecuador experts. Plus, a bunch of other free bonuses.
