Ive been to Ecuador the past three years for one month every time , and i cant agree more that effectively the people are so kind lovely and also very helpful. Just cant wait to be back... after the pandemie. Hopefully next year.
Love the video, I think ayampe is the ideal place to isolate yourself from the world, to live in total peace and tranquility ✌️🙏😊

I live in Ecuador, but never been in Ayampe! Wow, thanks for showing it to the world. We must do everything to keep it that way, to protect them from "industrialization".... Olón and other peaceful places must keep like that!! Hey, and your bikes???
Ayampe is my 2nd home here in Ecuador after Vilcabamba. Love that place and spend time there every year. The rocks on the beach come and go, depending on storms, tides, river spilling, and since Carnival there is a life guard on weekend with a fantastic bamboo tower, i was just there a month and go back in April....Your video expresses the vibe very well and your comments are accurate..
20 more days until my son and I come back to Ecuador. I think we will need positive vibes/thoughts to get there. This is our 3rd attempt, 1st time they canceled our flight 2nd time my wife had a positive test and cannot make it this time. 3rd time!!!!!!!! My father and I went fishing around that island and he caught a 17 pound grouper and the captains wife cooked it for us. We enjoyed it with his whole family. Amazingly generous people in Ecuador. Thanks jp.& Amelia
The little island is called Ahorcados you are right, I lived in the area for 7 years, it felt nostalgic to see your video. If you think its a sleepy town, 10 years ago there wasn’t half the places there is now. But yet the locals have managed to not let it its charm completely dissapear. Thanks for the fun video!
Lovely video. It is so pleasant to see you enjoying my country. Don't get tired of exploring Ecuador. It contains hundreds more interesting places for visiting.
It’s called Los Ahorcados, the myth tell us that pirate Drake hang the mutineers there...but is but a legend. Thanx for going to Ayampe, unfortunately it was cold (as it shows) but you guys made my day. Next time take a pick at the “vista” from Finca Punta Ayampe. At the end of December, weather will be sweet so plan your next visit then. Aw! And we do not have live guards yet, we take care of each other inside the sea....
I've been considering moving overseas from the States, and Panama was the front-runner, but your videos about Ecuador are definitely exerting a pull on me.
This town has the vibe of how Montañita use to be waaaay back in the day. Nature, architecture, etc. The people of Ayampe must try at all cost to keep it exactly that way, unspoiled. Thanks for making this video. 👋😎
Como siempre un buen video ustedes son los mejores en esto, sigan asi con esa humildad y carisma que los caracterizan, gracias por hacer conocer nuestro ecuador
We are actively researching moving/retiring to Ecuador. Your videos have been immensely helpful - I've watched a couple dozen of them - and we purchased your course. Thank you for your professional, clear, engaging, and candid view of the different aspects of the expat life there. So much to learn and figure out, but it is becoming a manageable reality.
Ohhhh, it's so cool you've discovered a new place so close to your home where you can do new things! Wow, I can't wait to move to Ecuador!!! Thank y'all so much for all the exploring you do on our behalf! Nos vemos!
Enjoyed the video immensely...felt like I relaxed and I was there...great job...will need to checkout that area..when we visit next year..thank you aging
JP and Amelia iam going back Home to My Country 💙 Ecuador and part of the Big Puzzle for Me to Move Back The Respect and Love for My 💓 Country and I will be Happy to See you Both and will Teach you Spanish!
Beautiful place. Seemed quiet and. a perfect place for a respite from the hustle and bustle of a more populous place. I agree with Mr Sarmiento - a gem.
I think I just found my retirement spot, love it ! I love the sign said " no caca de perro," in english its " no dog poop ' . lol I stayed in Puerto Lopez and did everything you said !
I rode my motorcycle from Quito to Puerto Lopez and took one of those whale tours that included The island, snorkelling, lunch and cruising around looking for whales, which we saw. An all day tour (10-5 ish). An amazing value and very interesting.
I enjoyed that video..... was in Puerto Lopez last year, my tour guide , Alejandra , was an avid surfer who lived in Ayampe...she is Colombian who moved to Ecuador because she said it is a more stable country...
I am enjoying your videos, Ecuador looks pretty nice, we traveled to Belize last year and are considering retiring there, for many of the same reasons you have listed.
Hey JP and Amelia. Thank you for the videos! We absolutely love Ecuador. We are close to 60 and we’ve been going there every February for 10 years or more. We usually stay in Montanita but we almost bought a home in Olon earlier this year. Then the pandemic hit and we couldn’t get back there to complete the deal. We have been to Ayampe and Puerto Lopez as well. You should check out the paragliding place just south of Montanita. It’s awesome! We’re hoping to get back there as soon as we can but right now, February 2021 is not looking good due to the pandemic. We would love to converse with you guys and maybe get together the next time we’re there. Keep the videos coming!!
Beautiful. I might try Ecuador when I leave Guadalajara. Im a millionate with a 12% chance of being alive in 3 years so Ive got the budget for it. Lol. Cancer is such a pain in the butt.
Amelia and JP you finally mentioned Puerto Lopez!! That is where we went for a few days and we loved it. Very bohemian town much like this one. We want to learn more about this area like lving accomodations cost of living and transportation. Than you. Marcela
Just wanted to take a moment in between binge watching your videos to say Thank You. Your efforts are changing the if only's and maybe someday's into real possibilities for people.😊
2 months ago and already february and time going by fast. Love your updated vidoes. Thinking about traveling in the month of May to Ecuador to see the sights and decide if winter is an option to spend time in the country.
You really have made me think about moving to Ecuador a lot. Looks so beautiful. And my wife and I have been thinking really hard about becoming expats. Look forward to each and every one of your videos.
The 10th thing that amazes me about Ayampe, is that rarely you will see any sun. The only months that you could enjoy the sun here is from December to March ( if you are lucky to catch a sunny day ) . I do not want to be negative, but i think people need to know that Ecuador beaches are not as pretty as the ones we have in Florida, they are dark water with dark sand, dead fish smell and mostly cold water. Yes it is a peaceful town with few of yoga , surfing people and excellent food .
Hello friends , thank you for a new experience and views of another special place ! Wish all is well and happy during there difficult ! Enjoy and stay safe ...
Good video with the collection.of.music and soothing visuals. The number 1 surprise for me was the lack of people. There were more animals than people : )
The water looks cold. Is it the Humbolt current that cools the water and influences the weather? In NC/SC, we get the Gulf Stream. You can get in the surf from May thru October, and beyond.
Hi guys. I haven't been able to watch your videos for a while so just catching up. Glad to see Amelia getting around with just a brace! Enjoyed the adventure...thanks for sharing. It's certainly not something for the comments section but I've often wondered how you folks feel as you watch the political craziness unfolding in the USA. Stay safe, be well. Love and respect from Senoia, GA.
Another hidden gem from my country. Thank you for sharing it with the world!
Is a great feeling seeing couples who want the same thing in life. I'm glad found each other and love adventures and the healthy lifestyle
Paradise on earth. My country soon will become in Foreigner House. Everyone are welcome to Ecuador. Our people is lovely and tender with foreigners
I find with the comments about the people of Equador is refreshing and heartwarming ❤️🙏🇺🇸
Ive been to Ecuador the past three years for one month every time , and i cant agree more that effectively the people are so kind lovely and also very helpful. Just cant wait to be back... after the pandemie. Hopefully next year.
@@michelduclos6340 You are very welcome dear friend. This pandemic we are hitting so hard but we are still standing more stronger that never

3rd time is a charm!
May God bless your journey 💜💙💚💛🧡
Ayampe has been my favorite beach since I arrived in Cuenca in 2013...I love the rock collecting!!
Watching your video relaxed me after a long work day. Can’t wait for you guys to explore other regions in Ecuador
Love all your videos of Ecuador. More and more my wife and I want to move there. Keep up the good videos.

Thanks for showing this video so that I never go there, how boring!
I've been in Ayampe the last month, you can combine jungle plus beach that makes it strikingly attractive.
Jorge we agree!
Que hermoso es nuestro país....gracias querida familia por mostrar nuestras bellezas naturales al mundo
Lovely video. It is so pleasant to see you enjoying my country. Don't get tired of exploring Ecuador. It contains hundreds more interesting places for visiting.

Ame el video, pienso que ayampe es el sitio ideal para aislarse del mundo 👏👏😀😀😀
Rustic and rural are my preference.
I've been considering moving overseas from the States, and Panama was the front-runner, but your videos about Ecuador are definitely exerting a pull on me.
@Biff You would love Ecuador.. Come on down
Panama is nice, but the law is backwards. Youre guilty until proven innocent. No thank you! Ill stick with Ecuador!
@@rohrfloute2000 and you think it is different in Ecuador? If you do, I can only imagine you haven't had an experience with Ecuadorian law yet
@@mrdub.303 I have dealt with Ecuadoian law. I have also seen first hand how Panama doesn't care if you're a citizen or visitor.
Yes, Ecuador is a better choice and cheaper, overall. 🤔🤗😷Just make certain you are close to good medical care.🤕🤒😱
Well it looks like I found the small beach town I’d like to end up in. Thanks for the video!!
Too bad for the rocky beach.
Beautiful work, place and beautiful Amelia and JP, gracias pareja hermosa❤️💙🙏
Gracias!
I’m so glad I found your video 😊 I am looking for a place to go to 6 months a year or more. Thanks for posting 😊❤️
This town has the vibe of how Montañita use to be waaaay back in the day. Nature, architecture, etc. The people of Ayampe must try at all cost to keep it exactly that way, unspoiled.
Thanks for making this video. 👋😎
Wow that's a great video. I'll be going to Ayampe (my first trip to Ecuador) in just a couple days. wow cannot wait.
Como siempre un buen video ustedes son los mejores en esto, sigan asi con esa humildad y carisma que los caracterizan, gracias por hacer conocer nuestro ecuador

Ecuador is the most wonderful and exciting place in the world.
Nice video, nice music and editing skills.
Always interesting and informative, thank you. 🇪🇨🇪🇨
I think I'm going to sleep better with this beautiful video ! So relaxing ! 💤🤗

Definitely a road trip I’ll bring my camera to. Thanks for posting.
Great choice in background music for Ayampe!
Wow, this town was really interesting. Thank you 👍🏾
Bellos... Mis gringos favoritos... Siempre los veo....saludos
Enjoyed the video immensely...felt like I relaxed and I was there...great job...will need to checkout that area..when we visit next year..thank you aging
The sunsets at Ayempe are just incredible.....ive seen a few and just wow
They are amazing!

Beautiful place. Seemed quiet and. a perfect place for a respite from the hustle and bustle of a more populous place. I agree with Mr Sarmiento - a gem.
Esto me recuerda cuando tenia 18 a 22 años la vida simple y feliz
great video, nice music selection
I stayed there for a week a couple years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Good to hear!
Nice. And Amelia's limp is getting better.
Ecuador es un pequeño paraíso en la mitad del mundo Bendiciones
I think I just found my retirement spot, love it ! I love the sign said " no caca de perro," in english its " no dog poop ' . lol I stayed in Puerto Lopez and did everything you said !
That island has its own character. It should be on the Ayampe post cards. So unusual and beautiful also enchanting!
I rode my motorcycle from Quito to Puerto Lopez and took one of those whale tours that included The island, snorkelling, lunch and cruising around looking for whales, which we saw. An all day tour (10-5 ish). An amazing value and very interesting.
Love the pace of this video and the videography was excellent.
Thank you, this may be my retiring place in the future. Best!
I enjoyed that video..... was in Puerto Lopez last year, my tour guide , Alejandra , was an avid surfer who lived in Ayampe...she is Colombian who moved to Ecuador because she said it is a more stable country...
Nowadays, Colombia is a more stable country. Unfortunately, here is a lot of political unrest/instability in Ecuador.
I am enjoying your videos, Ecuador looks pretty nice, we traveled to Belize last year and are considering retiring there, for many of the same reasons you have listed.
Gracias for sharing.
Hello Amelia and J.P. I loved your video about complaints people have, it is very funny. You are doing the right thing by laughing about it all
Guys, I really enjoy all your videos, you are showing me something I never thought exist. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy it!!
Absolutely beautiful vidoeography! Really enjoyed this one Amelia & JP.💜
so excited to see this, have been wondering about this area, thanks as always for such great info and visuals!

🇺🇸 My parents sent me this link. Now I have to watch more of these adventures ! 💕😙
Welcome!!
Bringing in outside income to the local economy, while quietly respecting their culture and customs is a boost for everyone. Nice Video ! :-)
Excellent video, you knocked this one out of the park.
Gracias!
Beautiful. I might try Ecuador when I leave Guadalajara. Im a millionate with a 12% chance of being alive in 3 years so Ive got the budget for it. Lol. Cancer is such a pain in the butt.
Cancer is terrible. Hope to see you in Ecuador.
Amelia and JP you finally mentioned Puerto Lopez!! That is where we went for a few days and we loved it. Very bohemian town much like this one. We want to learn more about this area like lving accomodations cost of living and transportation. Than you. Marcela
Good suggestion Marcela. We haven't spent a lot of time there-we'll check it out in more detail soon!
You guys are always smiling. We can tell you really love where you live now.
Just wanted to take a moment in between binge watching your videos to say Thank You. Your efforts are changing the if only's and maybe someday's into real possibilities for people.😊
¡Qué bonito!
Se los ve rejuvenecidos.
Que disfruten del Océano Pacífico con mucha salud.

Looks a lot like Oregon coast, but warmer.
What a lovely couple.
Hermoso vídeo guys Saludos desde Canadá 🇨🇦

Thank you!! 😊
Amelia is just too CUTE. Love her wearing that top.
The rocks Island are called Los Ahorcados got this from a very well knowledgeable person in Ecuador.
