  • Awesome article, I have to add that prices here in coastal Ecuador are cheaper and weather is warmer and drier than in the Sierra (Mountain). Everything else is very informative with clothing being the only exception. Why would you want to buy foreign clothing at higher prices when Ecuador already produces quality clothing and shoes? I have been just fine with them. Regards:)
