Great observation on the Ecuadorian culture. Ditto Colombia. I returned to the US in 2009, left again in 2012 and traveled by land through Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. Stayed in and traveled Colombia and Peru for 6 months each more or less. I have ... Read More

Hi Osage Archer First -thanks very much for the time and interest and the reply..... Numbeo is pretty accurate for what I experience here in Ecuador. It also holds true in Colombia and in Peru except for Lima where I found things a bit more ... Read More
