Housing isn't too expensive when you get a weekly or monthly discount. Depending on who you rent through, you can find accommodation in Ecuador as cheap as $200 a month! Here is a breakdown of some housing we saw and the average you can expect to spend in different cities.

Uyumbicho:

We spent $1154 for an entire month in a private, giant 3 bedroom house.
On average though you can totally find places here between $200-$500 for a month long stay.

Otavalo:

We spent $31 a night to rent a beautiful hillside cottage nestled on a small Ecuadorian farm. On average you can expect to spend around $30 a night to rent a private stay or home in the area.

Banos:

We spent $48 a night for a 3 bedroom apartment located downtown Banos. On average you can expect costs between $35-$55 a night for a private stay or apartment in town. You could also do your own thing and stay at a hostel here for between $6-$10 per night! Up to you!

Mindo:

We spent $80 a night at a resort here. This was a very nice place that offered a pool, massages and had a cafe. On average you could expect to spend around $60 a night to stay in Mindo Valley!

To get around you can use local taxis and busses or Uber. Uber is definitely cheaper than a taxi ride but you will need to be sure you look into its legality. For around $9-$13 with Uber we were able to go 45 minutes south of the big city of Quito to our little village of Uyumbicho.

Here is a link to our favorite car rental company! Remember to ask about the KM limit and cost for drop off and pick up if not from the city center.

Busses were a good option as well and can be very inexpensive! as little as $0.30 between villages and $9 for an hour long ride to the big city.

Adventuring is the way to explore any place you visit! Here is a quick breakdown of the adventures in this video, as well as our videos that share our entire experience of each adventure seperately!

1. Cotopaxi National Park: $10 a day, $10 + $2 to get in and camp and $10 + $10 to rent a bunk before your summit attempt.

2. The Quito, Basilica Del Voto Nacional: $3 a person

3. Canyoning in Banos: $90 a person or $75 with group rate HERES THE LINK TO SIGN UP FOR YOUR TRIP!

4. Chocolate tasting and tour, Mindo Valley: $10 a person

Food and drink can be a costly ticket when planning any trip. In Ecuador you can absolutely find affordable foods that you will love! You might not always make your own and that is okay here especially! Street vendors offer food for between $2-$5 a plate and restaurants will offer food from between $6-$15 a plate. There will be a %12 tax and %10 Service charge added at most hotels, resorts and restaurants. SHOP LOCAL AND RECYCLE!

We hope you found this video helpful and for anymore questions be sure to ask us directly in the comments!

Hi, guys! Nice video. We will visit Ecuador in sep/oct. One more question: do you know, which one sim-card is the best if you want to be good connected to an Internet in Ecuador? Greatings from the Netherlands 😁

[ElenaCarvajal]

Thanks for the video, very informative! Do you have any advice for a solo female traveler, whose Spanish is still not well enough for getting around? And maybe a way to find (someone I can trust), like a travel or shopping buddy, who is familiar with Ecuador? Thanks!
