Best video of San Jacinto, Ecuador. Everything about the video was great. I liked the drive through the avenues and streets of San Jacinto. I was really impressed with the lodging where you stayed while in San Jacinto, Ecuador. The pictorial of the birds and flowers of the region were great. Loved the drone footage of the coastal beaches. And the food of the region looked super delicious!.
Thanks so much Bodvar. I know some people may be disappointed that I didn't show more of San Clemente but I really was drawn to the energy in San Jacinto. And the hotel was so nice it was tempting to just lay by the pool every day. Next time 🤣
What a great video. When I was in Ecuador in 2019 I was very ill something I ate, and we stopped at Cottages by the Sea of which I really wanted to visit but instead slept on the tour bus. Thanks for showing the cottages, as it looks like a great snowbird destination from New Brunswick. Safe travels.
Carol the worst part of the Cottages by the Sea was they were so nice I really had to drag myself out to explore, I could have just spent every day in the cabanas.
@@ayngelina can a Canadian purchase health insurance in Ecuador if you are only staying a couple of months. I'm 77 years old fairly good health and not many insurance companies will touch you. Thanks enjoy your adventures. There is a Canadian couple in Olon who puts out a lot of videos of the area. They came from Madoc, Ontario.
Yes Shane and Tonia, I'm in one of their recent videos! I use travel insurance that covers health. But I think if you're over 70 it's tough to get health insurance in Ecuador, at least that's what I've heard on Ecuador Facebook groups. You could look at WorldNomads and SafetyWing. I've used both and they aren't too expensive.
Desde pequeño siempre iba a pasar mis vacaciones a San Jacinto, tengo grandes recuerdos, la abuela de mi primo vendia encebollados en la calle principal y siempre que pasaba mis vacaciones ahí desayunaba encebollado todos los dias!! que grandes recuerdos :'( puf no puedo ver tus videos porque me entra hambre y melancolia a la vez :( son 20 años fuera de Ecuador y extraño mucho mi pais.
I appreciate how at the end of the video you explained your case for why you gravitated more toward one of these two spots. I continue to love your transparency!
Wonderful assortment of rica food Ayngelina...I'm impressed ...you seem to bring a lot of joy everywhere you go..I'm simply amazed at your destinations...keep this up...
Solo espero que la gente no esté decepcionada de que no pasé más tiempo en San Clemente, parece agradable, pero sabes que amo más los lugares ecuatorianos.
Looks like a great spot! I saw men doing the fishing net tug-of-war thing on the beach in Olon in the mornings, but yes Ecuador is the only place I've seen that happen
@@ayngelina Tonsupa, Same, Crucita, San Jacinto , each one is unique but Galápagos has no equal. Had the blessing of living there as a child. I would love to go back, it is quite pricy even x Ecuadorians.
Omg such q great video I really enjoy it 😅🤗🤗omg VICHEEEEE my favorite soup from manabi I love soups 🥘 well encebollado I’m not a fan lol😳😅 but viche hell yeah 😎 it’s amazing those vegetables that they use are so good 👌👌 yummy yummy 😋 cool video es muy bonito san Jacinto, san clemente 👍 and also sweet plantains are delicious 🤤 with salprietan and the cuajada cheese uff 👌👌but I like sweet plantains boiled no me gusta el Maduro frito jeje 😛
@@ayngelina 😅😅🤷♀️ I don’t know 🤷♀️ I can eat it but I don’t feel like I’m enjoying. My food you know I only like when it taste like sancocho de pescado 😅 and also not every body know how to do a good encebollado you have to be lucky 🍀 I hate with my life when encebollado taste like ughh like rotten fish 🎣😅😅I don’t how to explain 😁
I love your videos the food looks delicious is something i haven't taste in a long while...great video i should be nice if you have subtitled in spanish or have your man narrated in spanish, i have friends. In South America that don't speak English and want to know what you are saying....
Excellent video. Enjoyed the cottage room, all of SanJacinto and the FOOD! Wow. Would have loved to have seen what was caught in that giant fishing net.
Love your content. I would love to see a video of places on the coast and in the mountains that is your favorite and why. Places you would live. Thank you for everything you do.
Brandon thanks so much for commenting, it really means so much to me. I am planning to do a video of my favourites cities and towns in Ecuador. But I do hesitate on guiding people too much on where to live because everyone wants and needs different things. The only way to know is to come here and stay, and that's why I recommend renting because most people end up in a different town than they expected. Overall for livability Cuenca is my favourite which is why I'm based here. But I'm from the coast of Canada so I'm always drawn to the water. That said, just like I couldn't live on the coast of Canada the same is true here. It's wonderful to visit but there not enough going on. I need more activities. I love Cuenca because it has lots of arts and culture events, fantastic food and it's a good hub and not too far from the coast if I need some beach time. 😊
Thanks for another great video! I watched this one when it first came out...and just watched it again from San Clemente, Ecuador! Haha! We came here based on your video. Our family of 5 has been here for 3 weeks and we have one week left. We wanted to watch it again to make sure we didn't miss anything! Will definitely be getting arroz marinero and barbecued ribs before we head out. I am so grateful for your honest videos! You have helped us plan our 3 months in the beautiful country of Ecuador! I also really appreciate you showing the prices of things.
@@ayngelina We are loving the weather and the beach! We have met so many kind and welcoming people. Food has been amazing and so cheap! We have been to several places where Spanish is the official language, but we were surprised by how few people in Ecuador speak English. In Costa Rica, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Thailand and Japan, we could almost always find an English speaker. Luckily our Spanish is ok enough to get around.
So it depends on where you go in Ecuador, the coast and Andes are really two different cultures. And many people from the Andes have worked in the States and come back. Their accents are also very different. People in Cuenca almost sing their words and are very polite, they usually have a lot of family in the States and have visited many times.And the food is also impacted as returning Ecuadorians like to have US groceries so if you go to a Supermaxi you'll be shocked at how much is available compared to the coast. But in general I think Ecuadorians are always happy to help navigate the language barrier and Google Translate helps a lot :)
Ayngelina, thanks for your videos helpful as I will be visiting Ecuador July and August of this year. I see by your videos that a lunch special is called a "almuerza" is there a name for a breakfast and dinner special. Thanks
Hi Mike I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos. Desayuno is pretty standard across the country and you need to. Ask what it includes if it's not mentioned on a menu. In cities such as Cuenca you can ask if they have an "almuerzo" which is a standard set lunch, it includes usually a soup, choice of main and a juice. Merienda is an option you won't find everywhere. Meriendas are similar to almuerzos but they are not as common to find. I find it's more common on the coast. In places like Esmeraldas they advertised it but you can always ask when you are on the coast. I didn't see it in the Andes although Andres just told me they have it at El Túnel and I didn't know.
What about Olon Ecuador its soooo chill there ,,,they also have Expats invading there as well ,,but they help boost the local economy and the locals are so humble and nice ,,the food is fantastic especially Mr. Don Villon Ceviche cart always trolling the beach front,, talk about a coastal gem. 👍👍
Next Saturday I have a video coming up about Olon and I enjoyed it. There’s nothing wrong with expat spots I was just addressing that people had asked me to shoot a video on San Clemente but these videos are of my travels so I have to stay true to what I prefer and in this case I wanted to spend my time in San Jacinto. But I haven’t written San Clemente off, I’d definitely go back to try it out
I don't often provide pricing because Ecuador accommodation rates are never consistent. It usually depends on time of year, day of the week, number of people and day of the week.

Hi Ayngelina. Biche is one of my favorite soup. This soup is 💯% Manabita.
Yes and it's soooo good!
Looks like a great spot! I saw men doing the fishing net tug-of-war thing on the beach in Olon in the mornings, but yes Ecuador is the only place I've seen that happen
Right? I have never seen it anywhere else!
Wow ,that aguardiente looks so cool...
It was in a caipirniha and so good
Hola y gracias!
Hola Lex! This could be a great weekend trip for you guys once you move here.
SanJacinto!! After Manta the first beach I visited as a child!

Manabi es otro nivel y lo mejor es que no está turísticamente saturado
