an intentional community in south Ecuador |

Why Ecuador? |
|
"I have lived at Twin Oaks community for 16 years and I have visited Ecuador a few times and fallen in love with the place. I have said that I would like to live there if only there was a community of people on a beautiful piece of land" Keenan -- This is a quote of a wish and it is crystallizing now.
The land is basically hills surrounded by mountains. There is a stream, which comes from springs in the mountain and runs all year long. The water is crystalline clear and safe to drink, and abundant.
The weather is perfect, up to the 80's F. in the day and down to the 60’s F. at night. Every day, all year 'round. The amount of daylight is just about 12-13 hours a day, every day.
The community is located in southern Ecuador near the village of Vilcabamba. It is in a valley, which is known worldwide for having an extraordinary number of people who live to be well over a hundred years old. Click here to read detailed property and Weather description
Ecuador is a tiny South American country...but enormously rich. It is the closest source to North America (just a 3-hour-and-45-minute flight) of 12 hours of direct equatorial sunlight a day, 365 days a year. This mountain nation has a rich Pacific coast on the west and one of the most incredible diversities in the world. Because this country sits on the equator but is coastal and mountainous, it has the same biodiversity as all the territory ranging from the equator to the Arctic Circle.
The country is a tourist's delight offering sights, sounds, and goods at prices so low they're hard to believe. Indeed, Ecuador was named the "cheapest country in the world" in International Living's 2001 Quality of Life Index. As an emerging economy, the place is ripe with business potential, especially now that it has been through its worst depression in history. Yet the nation has some incredible skilled labor that works for as little as 75 cents an hour. Everyone in Ecuador wants things from America and Europe. Ecuador offers products and services at rock-bottom prices. In short, Ecuador is an incredible bargain basement for business opportunity right now.
