    El pan de yuca is better if you try it from Naturissimo, it is not supposed to be dry as the one you bought on the street, is very soft and cheesy. Also, if it is very dry is bc they're not fresh. Eat it with a yogurt, you will love it!

    WOW!!!! I know what I am doing when I visit!!! Does this happen only one time a year? I would be trying absolutely everything! The foods you tried looked so delicious. The plantain and cheese, I bet that was a great combination. I am watching the video and my stomach is growling hahaha I would also be weak as heck and would be bringing home a couple of those goats for pets 🤣😂 What an absolute delight your day was! Your dinner, OMG!!!! That was food made for queens and kings! I am going to try that restaurant as well! Honestly the bill at the end, with the amount of foods you got, was a pretty decent price! I am in awe of your day! Magical 💖💖

    I’ve lived in Cuenca for almost four years, seen lots of videos about apartments but this is way above average. For me the best value was the one in Misicata..Nice place and near the Tranvia. The house is nice but too isolated for me. Love the woman singing, who is she?

      Yes, Ecuador is a must visit. An underrated destination in South America, in my opinion. I think visiting will help you feel the vibe and see if it's for you. There's also an expat community in Manta (which is on the coast), so you can also be close to the beach if that's your preference. Thanks so much for watching, commenting and subscribing. I appreciate you 🙏🏾❤️

    So, we finally did it. We went back to your first video, and enjoyed the views of Vilcabama. In particular, your walking pace makes it easier to feel like we're there. Do you know the names of any of the colorful flowers seen at the place you stayed at? I saw "Vilcagarden" in the video. Was this just a play on words, or was this the name of the place where you stayed? Thanks for letting us know. We're like # 679 for your video.

    • @TheXplorasDiary
      @TheXplorasDiary 3 дня назад

      Yaaay, I'm so glad you made it to the first video. Unfortunately, i don't know the name of the flowers. And Yes, Vilcagarden is the actual name of the restaurant where we went. It's one of the prominent restaurants in Vilcabamba.

      My number one tip would be to join facebook groups for expats in Cuenca, where you can keep up with the news and the perspectives of expats living here. You'll be able to keep track of the political and social climate of the place, as people share their experiences and very helpful information.

    At 5:28, what market is that? I would say Supermaxi is basically an upscale Walmart, if that makes any sense. They do carry a lot of items u can't find elsewhere, but their prices are higher than local mercados. My gf has lived, basically, in Cuenca for 9 years now, and she does most of her food shopping at local markets, She actually lives not far from Super Aki Narancay, an easy walk for her, so she finds a lot of what she needs there, cheap. For more, Coral Centro is two bus stops away, it does have a lot more things. Otherwise, when in centro, she hits 10 de Agosto, or any of many small vendors she knows there. Point is, yes, one can eat very frugally in Cuenca, if you are willing to search out these places!

I created another video (link below) with the best places to stay etc. Hope you check it out, if you haven't ruclips.net/video/fXa-R6wWbCE/видео.html
