Ayngelina, I like the video on Esmeraldas beaches. The beaches look very nice. I liked the boat tour of the mangroves. And I could not believe how delicious the food in Esmeraldas was! I would definitely go to Esmeraldas to eat their delicious foods on their gorgeous beaches!

[@ayngelina]

I can't express just how amazing it was. Next videos we travel in southern Esmeraldas, which is considered a bit more safe but just as beautiful.

[@olddotcom]

Love your show. Thanks for posting Ayng.

[@ayngelina]

Thanks so much for the kind words I really appreciate it

[@aylex1974]

Las playas son hermosas. Que rico. Me encantaria ir y conocer este lugar paradisiaco

Thank you so much Tim. It is not easy but it's so rewarding when people recognize it. If you're around tomorrow I hope to see you at the Live 3pm EST

[@leannawilliams5720]

I loved your video ill be going to Esmeraldas in September I am so excited my father is from Guayaquil but moved to United States at 14 this is my first trip and I took notes from you...Thankyou

[@ayngelina]

Esmeraldas is home to the best beaches and food, you'll have a wonderful time!

I'm hosting a KZbin Live at 3pm EST today if you want to chat. My #1 recommendation is do not buy anything until you stay here a year. There are NIGHTMARE stories, and then a lot of other tough stories.

[@mikerioux1799]

I will be traveling Ecuador during July and August of this year and a visit to Esmeraldas was on my list of places to visit though with some concern because of security issues. After following your videos on this place I will now make a visit a certainty.

[@ayngelina]

So after posting this video today a lot of people pointed me to the President's announcement of state of exception, which was in the provinces of Guayas, Manabi and Esmeraldas. I hope I've provided a balanced view here. We were constantly asking locals about our next step and sometimes we had to change plans, because I always have crazy ideas of spots where I heard a dish was amazing. But locals really helped us out and were honest about things. You do need to be careful, it's not like the Azuay province. BUT...Esmeraldas is big! And even in this state of exception it's not the places I've featured. It's so similar to Guayaquil where you can safely visit and enjoy some areas and some you should not visit. And even in Quito there are neighborhoods you should just not visit. But for some reason.....Esmeraldas really gets painted poorly as a whole. I would absolutely go back. We were sad to leave. You cannot beat the food and beaches.

[@leonardomera121]

Ayngelina thanks a lot for another great video.You guys are a nice couple.Enjoy in ecuador.Saludos desde puyo.

Gracias Leonardo! Puyo is on my list to visit in the fall. Do you have any recommendations?

[@perfectlylonely]

@10:20 you mention a hotel. I'm traveling in Ecuador. This my 3rd week of three months. This morning I arrived in Atacames. I went straight to this hotel and booked a room for 1 night. After 3 hours of hanging out, I went back to reception and paid for an additional 3 nights. This hotel is great 👍 I'm happy that that person gave you their card. Now I'll have more time to explore the city and the restaurants 😁

[@ayngelina]

Oh this makes my day. I love supporting the local businesses. If you're in Cuenca stay at Casa Cuencana that's my base.

[@libertytrutheternity1367]

Lovely sea food, Sùa beach isn't as it use to be but it's peaceful to live though, 05 August the holidays are celebrating in the green province (La Provincia Verde 💚👽💨)... Nice view's (Big Thanks for the video) Kind regards from the Green Province of Esmeraldas 💚(Eternal Summer), Love 2023🔥

[@ayngelina]

I feel so fortunate I was able to visit Esmeraldas when I did. You cannot beat the warmth of the people and hands down it has the best food and beaches in Ecuador.

[@quito9896]

Best beaches and food. That sums up how I feel about Esmeraldas!

[@kettybriones9999]

The shrimp majado is actually dinner in a restaurant and it goes for $20 in Melbourne,Florida. However, the one you are eating looks so much better and appetizing as well as fresh. Coconut juice in Ecuador is refreshing and lower cost. I have to pay $5 over here.

[@ayngelina]

Oh well then you must come down here to eat everything!

[@magnusb6311]

Thank you for a great video. How is the housing prices in Esmeralda compared to example Manta or Olon? Is Ecuador spicy as spicy as in Mexico or a little less spicy?

[@ayngelina]

To be honest I’m not sure what housing prices are like because I don’t recommend buying there. It is far better to rent long term. As for food it’s not spicy at all. On the table you’ll find aji, which is s hot sauce so you add spice but the actual food is not spicy. Hope this helps!

[@magnusb6311]

@@ayngelina OK thank you on the spicyness. Why recomended not to buy there? I mean, when I first get there I will rent, but long term...?

[@ayngelina]

Real estate doesn’t appreciate like in Canada and the US. It’s better to get a long term rental and invest money elsewhere. You can get luxury condos for under $1000 easily that are furnished. And then if you decide you don’t like the apartment or area as much as another, which is very common with expats, it’s easy to get up and leave.

[@magnusb6311]

@@ayngelina Hi Ayngelina, I am not Canadian or a Gringo, I am from Sweden. Properties go up in value here to but my reason to buy is not to gain property value but to simply own my own place without having to go by anyones rules. I am a ham and want to do whatever I want with antennas, towers and the like. I absolutely follow you on renting first, I will definatly do that, and travel around before I deceide where I will stay. But when I know where I want to live, it will be a small beach town for sure. Preferably close to Manta, just not in Manta.

[@ayngelina]

You might want to look at Santa Mariantita, or San Jacinto (I have a video from here) but you should definitely go down and do a tour first. Most expats don't make it past a year because they are unprepared for cultural differences. Although Ecuador is amazing, it's not perfect and Latin America works very different compared to other areas of the world. The general rule is to wait at least a year before buying. Those who don't are often left with properties they paid too much for that they then need to unload to other foreigners.

[@paolaparra16]

[@magnusb6311]

Seen all the tracks on the beach. What are the rules about driving on the beaches in Ecuador. Is it local rules? Cars not allowed but 4-wheelers and off road motorcycles ok? Or what are the rules?

[@ayngelina]

Those are actually police vehicles patrolling in Esmeraldas, you cannot drive on the beach. You can drink on the beach unless there are signs that say you cannot for example the main beach in Salinas.

[@CarmichaelCarmichael]

Hey ayngelina you said mangrove tour was 250 is that 250 usd? Or what currency or is it 2.50 pp

[@ayngelina]

Ecuador content is always in USD as that's what they use for their currency. It's normally $2.50 per person but honestly I think a private boat like we did is better so you're not packed in like sardines!
