The Panoramic Beauty of Cotacachi Ecuador

We recently visited Cotacachi, Ecuador to film a real estate tour for our YouTube channel. This picturesque mountain town is truly mesmerizing and we always enjoy our time there!

Nestled between two inactive volcanoes, Cotacachi and Imbabura, the views are simply stunning with clouds forming over the top of the volcanoes. The town is walkable and incredibly clean with bike lanes making it even easier to explore.

The town has many restaurants and coffee shops, perfect for taking a break and enjoying the local cuisine. It’s also a great place for window shopping, with numerous stores selling handmade items and artisanal crafts.

In the center of town, Parque Central is a highlight with its beautiful old church, large palm trees, and colorful flowers. Parque San Francisco also has a church and often vendors selling food and crafts.

Cotacachi is a popular destination for expats from the US and Canada because of its affordability and high quality of life for a low cost of living. We can see why they have chosen to make this town their home, as it truly offers everything you could need in a peaceful and beautiful setting.

Overall, we had a fantastic time in Cotacachi and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming and affordable mountain town with breathtaking views.
