In this video, IL’s editor Dan Prescher is in Crucita, Ecuador. Manta is a major port and tuna processing center on Ecuador’s Pacific coast, and just north of Manta is the fishing village of Crucita.

It’s the location of a long-standing residential project called Villa Balsamaragua, as well as several new beachfront condo towers… one of which is the new coastal getaway for friend and neighbor in Cotacachi, Ron Moore. Listen in to this podcast to find out how Ron and his wife rescued their retirement in Ecuador.
