Ecuador Tour & Rental Search Request
I am a semi-retired teacher whose home is Vancouver, Canada. Each year I would like to spend several months in Ecuador and perhaps even purchase a second home there after renting for a while in a location that meets my requirements.
Can anyone suggest a tour that would permit me to explore some of the following locations? Vilcabamba, Cuenca, Canoa & Bahia?
My next travel dates in Ecuador can be the following: arrival, Dec. 27, 2012; depart January 15, 2013
For the tour, I require accommodations for one person only with private bath and WiFi access.
I prefer not to drive myself but to go with a tour or shuttle service with tour guide (my Spanish is very limited).
My tour budget is in the U.S. $100 per diem range excluding airfare to and from Ecuador, food, drinks and gratuities, but including ground transportation, guided tour, local accommodations. Total for 19 days would be about $1900. I hope this is realistic?!
I look forward to any information you can provide. Muchas gracias!
PLEASE NOTE-
My travel dates for touring Ecuador are flexible. I could do this also for about a 3 week period in February, 2013 instead of Dec. 2012 - Jan, 2013.
Seeking advice for relocation to ecuador tour
Hello,
I think the best way to do this is to hire a driver here in Ecuador. There's some ones that speak English, know the country and good places to eat and sleep and they can set up your trip.
I know a good one here in Cuenca but I don't know where're you going to start your trip.
let me know you're interested and I can give you the contact info.

Hi Vinny
Thanks for the quick response. I would very much appreciate the information. I am open to whatever makes most sense for the tour in terms of where to go first and last. My post mentions the places I have read about that appear likely to meet my expectations. You can email me directly at:
Cheers! Jurgen
Ok, I will send you an email with the contact info.
When you visit Cuenca I will be glad to meet you if you have time.
Vinny
Much appreciated. In the meantime, I need to plan the tour and I look forward to your emailed contact info.
Regards from B.C.
Jurgen
