The unofficial web page of the greater Cuenca expat community by Nards Barley
I designate this thread as the unofficial web page for the Cuenca Expat community. I also designate myself as the unoffical spokesperson. It is actually a continuation of my non-blog, but I wanted to elevate my status in the wake of the continued ...

Safety in Ecuador by Christine
Hi, We would like to talk about a sensitive but important topic: do you feel safe in Ecuador? How would you define the level of safety in the country? Can you walk safely during the day and at night without any fear? Do you think there ...
The beaches in northern Peru you can stay alone for $25 a night. I felt like a king in Zoritos as I had the hotel to myself and enjoyed the ocean and a nice pool. The difference between Ecuador and Peru are the people. The Peruvians talk faster ... Read More

GYE is like a different country; much like Cali, Columbia. I urge women and older men to stay away from both. Peruvian beaches are less crowded then Ecuador but harder to visit. If you are an adventurer and have some Spanish skill then see if you ... Read More

Having lived in Cuenca I can tell you that I always felt safe but I am 6' 1" and 190 lbs. I walked all times of day and night. I knew almost all the ex-pats in Cuenca that were social butterflies like myself and only heard of one getting ... Read More
