For me, an ideal place to retire needs to include the maximum number of days of sunshineeach year. I can see that Ecuador is a great climate for temperatures day and night, summer and winter. Is there however a recommended spot there for great sunshine?
Cotacachi is sunny most of the time – -at least it seems that way to me. During the rainy season (Jan. to April or so) we do have quite a few rainy days. I love those so it doesn’t bother me a bit. And it doesn’t rain every day, of course. The sunniest stretch of beach is said to be Playas.
