There is lots to see and do throughout Ecuador for Expats.  Here is some background on three popular destinations: the seaside coastal town of Salinas, the northern mountain town of Cotacachi, and Cuenca, which has the largest population of Expats in Ecuador.  This reference list is not extensive, of course, it's meant to provide you with a taste of three different living communities.
