If you’ve been in Cuenca for more than five minutes, you’ve probably heard the name Victor Ojeda come up—and there’s a reason for that.
I’ve relied on Victor for years, and he’s been my go-to for many things: leading me through the purchase of a car, handling annual vehicle inspections, guiding me through Ecuadorian driver’s license acquisition, sorting out traffic tickets, sharing advice on dealing with local law enforcement, evaluating rental leases, and helping navigate different healthcare systems.
He’s also been invaluable when it comes to bigger-picture planning—offering practical advice on forward-looking issues like assisted living options.
What really sets Victor apart isn’t just what he does—it’s how he does it. He’s dependable, organized, and genuinely pleasant to work with (which, let’s be honest, matters a lot when you’re knee-deep in paperwork.
And he understands how US expats think and feel, having lived and worked in the U.S. for many years. That cultural awareness and his gringo English skills make him easy for me to communicate with him.
He knows how things work here, has relationships with the right people everywhere that will get things done for me, and keeps track of details so I don’t have to.
More than once, I’ve shown up, signed where needed, and watched everything else fall into place. Without his help, I would have burrowed unnecessarily down many rabbit holes.
Bottom line: if you’re living in Cuenca and trying to navigate daily life, paperwork, or anything in between, Victor is one of those rare people who makes things happen smoothly and reliably. It’s a pleasure to recommend him to you as I have to many other expat friends.
