    We will be arriving in Cotacachi for a month in mid-June for “orientation” to EC and then touring for another 3 or 4 weeks. We would love to meet with other, English speaking, ex-pats as part of our education. We are yanks, via years in Canada; time down-under in Kiwi and OZ land, presently living in Costa Rica–but still have EC on our bucket list and as an alternative to settle in. Is there a list of places and times we can likely find other IL folk and ex-pats in EC? Direct replies to our email: 2laings@gmail.com are welcome.

    Gracias,

    Barry & Lesley

    I replied to your e-mail address, but also wanted to post my answer here for anyone with a similar query.

    Cotacachi has quite a few expats for being a small town, so you’re likely to run into us all over town. But here are a few places that specifically tend to attract expats.

    Solid Rock Cafe – This is a popular spot in the mornings for breakfast and/or coffee. You’ll see expats sitting here for hours shooting the breeze any morning except for Sundays when they are closed. You can find them on 10 de Agosto as you head towards the market/bus station.

    Serendipity and Trebol – These are two popular restaurants that sit across the street from each other on Gonzalez Suarez just off the main avenue of 10 de Agosto. Trebol is only open Fri-Sun, but Serendipity is open every day.

    Rio Intag Coffee – This is a great little coffee shop right of Parque San Francisco and expats wander in and out all through the day.

    The BAR – Often there is live music on weekend at The BAR and this draws large crowds of expats. There are also big screens for watching sporting events. You can find them about a block north of 10 de Agosto on Pedro Moncayo.
