When Fausto Bravo was 12 years old, he went to the Cajas with his family, none of whom were artists. He picked up some clay and thought “I can create something with this.” He molded a bull which by morning had fallen apart. So he went to the universities to find an art teacher who would show him how to preserve the pieces he made.

For many years, Fausto sculpted clay. He was well known for his figures with oversized hands and feet. In recent years, Fausto has devoted himself to wood carving and painting.

We will begin with a...

In Ecuador, vehicle insurance is not legally mandatory. Ironically, that is exactly why it has become one of the most important financial protection tools a driver can have. When thousands of vehicles circulate without insurance coverage, every trip carries a level of uncertainty that can quickly become a significant financial burden.

According to official data from the Ecuadorian National Transit Agency (ANT), more than 21,000 traffic accidents were recorded nationwide during 2024, resulting in over 18,000 injuries and more than 2,300 fatalities. These numbers remind us that road risks are not rare events—they are part of everyday reality.

What happens when drawing becomes more than a technique?

Join artist Daniel Williams for a thought-provoking Saturday Salon exploring drawing as a ritual practice — a way of engaging with memory, mythology, symbolism, and the unseen forces that shape human experience.

Drawing from themes explored in Antagonista, Daniel will discuss how drawing can become a tool for exploration, transformation, and reconnecting with cultural memory. The conversation will touch on mythology, precolonial influences, and the stories that continue to shape how we see ourselves and the world around us.

For many expats, setting up a new life in Ecuador means learning a completely different system for managing monthly bills.

Electricity, water, internet, telephone services, and rent may all involve different providers, payment methods, and due dates.

What starts as a simple task can quickly become a source of frustration:
– Different payment locations
– Different due dates
– Different billing formats
– Different service providers

Missing a payment doesn’t just create inconvenience—it can lead to unnecessary stress and interruptions in service.

The good news is that with the right system, managing your monthly bills can become simple and predictable.

One thing we’re finding is that everyone seems to be looking for something a little different.

Some people want to be close to El Centro. Others want peace and quiet outside the city. Some need a furnished rental, a pet-friendly property, a yard, a view, a particular budget, or enough space for visiting family.

That’s why we start by understanding what you’re actually looking for and then do the research to identify options that best match your requirements.

If you’ve already found listings that interest you, we can help with that too by contacting the listing agent, coordinating viewings, answering...
