After nearly 5 years in Ecuador, we FINALLY visited Loja! You have been asking us to film there for years, and now the wait is over!
We spent a full week in Loja and logged nearly 20 walking miles, so we got a pretty good feel for the city and what it has to offer. We were surprised by a lot of what we saw. Overall, it was not what we expected.
We're going to share more videos from Loja and another popular expat town in the area, so be sure to hit the SUBSCRIBE button if you haven't already.

My grandfather was mayor of Loja 80 years ago! I'm proud to know that he had something to do with what Loja is today!
Sigamos el ejemplo de Loja y su gente. Ordenada limpia trabajadora y honrada. El Ecuador puede ser un paraíso
What a beatiful city! I also noticed how clean it looks. I wanted to retire in Cuenca, but it looks like Loja may be even better!
Amelia & JP: I've been watching your videos for a couple of years now. I enjoy visiting the various towns in Ecuador. Loja was especially pretty. I'm 70 years old and have a hard time getting around but like to travel. It is a pleasure to be able to join you on your journeys. I feel like I know you personally. Through you I'm getting to know Ecuador too. Thanks again for all you do. I even like Indian food and try to live a vegan life. Like JP, I have a hard time with elevations. A few years ago when we visited Flagstaff, Az (7,000 ft) I felt like a cat was sitting on my chest most of the time. Thanks again and I'll continue to enjoy your videos.
I visited Loja in 2015 with my then 10-year old son. He brought his skateboard and enjoyed the largest skatepark that we’ve found in our travels through 16 countries (in Parque Jipiro). Lojanas are SO friendly! My son sat in the violin section during one of the symphony rehearsals, and we found the most delicious tea- it’s called “horchata,” but its not the Mexican rice drink; it’s a special blend of flowers. When we were there we saw only one other “obvious” expat family, but that may have changed now. So happy to see you post this video.
Qué lindo es Loja, nunca he estado en esa ciudad. Soy ecuatoriana y no conozco mucho de mi país. Con ustedes estoy conociendo lo hermoso que es mi Ecuador. Será chiquito pero muy bonito! ❤️Gracias por recorrer el país y mostrarnos su belleza y gracias por hablar tan bonito de él. Son unos gringos bacanísimos! 😊💋
WOW - Loja is quite a metropolis ! In Costa Rica, we were used to a SINGLE large city (San Jose - the capital), with virtually all the other cities fading in comparison. Thanks for another fun adventure in Ecuador !
I hope you guys enjoyed your stay in Loja. It's a quiet yet beautiful city with warm people.
Me parece una ciudad MUY LIMPIA. No hay basura en las callles ni las aceras. La gente debe ser muy ogulloso de su pueblo...y se muestro, Saludos de nuevo york.
So nice to see you in my city. We, the lojanos, are really proud of our city, we love to see tourists here and everyday we have more and more expats coming to live here. My heart jumped when I saw the thumbnail of this video. I would have liked to have seen you on the street to greet you.
Loja is extraordinary - I so love the restaurant with the magic realist paintings of the older women. Yay crones! Appreciating older women is an indicator of a healthy society. Just looks so alluring.
Loja looks amazing and as I can see online they have some very nice homes for sale at great prices!!! Thanks for showing us loja ecuador 🇪🇨!!!
JP and Amelia,
I live in Germany and with my Husband we are thinking about buying something for our retirement and altough I am from Quito I want to buy something in place with all commodities but not so expensive and chaotic like Quito/Guayaquil. The coast (Manabi) is where I wanted but my husband thinks, it is better a place that is not too hot. Your video opened my mind and Loja is a really good option. The only thing that I don' t like that much is that it is far away from Quito but I guess it is worth it.
Oh wow, that is my city, Loja. Disfruten Ecuador!!!!
I fell in love with the beauty of this town. Obviously the locals have a lot of pride in their home.
Lojanos are special. They are fiercely loyal to their city and very proud of the improvements that they have made there, while keeping its’ historic past intact. They still curse the alcalde who paved over their cobblestone streets many years ago. Glad to see you went to the Mercado San Francisco where, in my opinion, the finest selection of cooked, ready-to-eat traditional Ecuadorian food can be found. The best empanadas morrocho/al vento I have ever had came from here. Your videos are making me second-homesick!
Thank you JP and Amelia! I Enjoyed the tour very much! Loja is definitely on my list when I go back to visit Ecuador. 👍
So glad you finally made it to Loja. Lovely city. Lovely people.
