Yes, you can only get a 3 month visa, you can't get a new one just by going to Peru anymore.
You could get a x-20 visa where after paying over 200+ you get another 3 month extension.
Now if you become a part time teacher, buddy of mine used to teach for a couple of hours here and there, he got a work visa, and he was able to stay for 9 months. Good luck.

A pretty sad story. You know things are bad when people are requesting to leave the United States in order to go back to Third World Countries.
I guess it's better to be poor in Ecuador than the US.

I'm a US citizen and I plan to move to EC as soon as hit the right number in my savings account, fuck the US. It's better to be middle class in Ecuador than in the US, and for that matter!
Hi Friends of Cuenca,
I will be there in January: Is there Viagra or the like available in the pharmacies without a prescription? Many thanks.

Does anyone know what areas in Quito are the safest and where can I get an apartment, furnished, for 6 or 7 weeks starting in late May?
Thank you in advance!

Thank you in advance![/QUOTE]I had apartments many times but not in Gringolandia (too many tourists and that's very atractive for thieves) but I had in the neighbourhood of 10 de Agosto near the lower priced girls-places and I ha done time a apartment in the North (Near Quicentro) and at some other places just outside the tourist centre (6 de diciembre at the front of Body, but just that club give a lot of problems there because the girls are leaving at 4 in the morning and that never happens without many noise-making) It's complicates find a apartment for some weeks in Quito because the owners prefer long stays, often a year but I when I'm in Quito it's always for 2 or 3 months and everytime I found an apartment but It's not easy. If you're interested pm me and I can give you some suggestions because I'm prepairing my next stay in Quito from August till November.
In general, and given some logical precautions, how safe is travel in Ec.?
Greeting gentlemen,
I will be passing thru Quito from MDE on my way to Lima,Peru. I will be on a reconnaissance mission for my boys and I. My group and I will be in MDE for 2 weeks at the end of which 2 of us will break off and go to Quito and Lima for a week, concurrently. I have read thru a few of the threads and haven't hear much about money?
So, I went to yahoo currence converter and it appears that in Ecuador the currency is on par with the American $ (dollar for dollar), can anyone substantiate or discredit this notion.
And if the Ecuadorian $ is on par with the American $ how far does ones dollar go?
thanks,
Biggs

The U.S. dollar IS the currency of Ecuador, senor. The dollar did well when I was there in late 2008.
The express bus and trole is $0.25. You can get a nice breakfast for $3.00. I did a hot number in a low-end MP for $8.00.
I hope that this helps. :)

Ecuador is a great place to live well for very cheap. Bring an extra fold up duffel bag so you can bring stuff home. You will find incredible deals on leather goods.
The problem with quito for some people is the altitude and the short sessions. Most were uneventful for me.
Bring no bill higher than a $20 and bring a stack of 10's 5's and 1's. You will thank yourself over and over again. Getting change is a biatch in ecuador like most other latin countries.
Thank you Artisttyp and Professor 1
After acting impulsively and more extensive research I am experiencing a bit of buyer’s remorse.
To explain, I have already book my ticket from MDE to Quito however I have discovered that I would much rather enjoy as stay in the city of Guayaquil as I am a connoisseur of chicas of the mulata/negra persuasion, hence my handle.
Can I expect and shortage of brown skinned Latina sweetness during my stay in Quito. Or can you suggest a rapid round trip transport from Quito to the coveted destination of Guayaquil?
Thanks Biggs

Guayaquil has gotten mixed reviews from members. If you look at the guayaquil thread you will notice only a few budget offerings and a few clip joints.
Have no fear quito is chongo heaven for all types of girls. Look at the photo gallery. The mighty tung documents many girls as you described.
You can always take a bus to guayaquil for *very cheap. It takes 8 hours I believe. I did some planning but never made it there. Basically you have calle 18 street scene and a few SW areas for the budget monger. On the other hand quito is loaded with budget options.
I'd like to go back to quito again but the altitude sickness really messed me up. You need to prepare yourself for it. Speak to your doctor.
I like the DR chicas too. The closest thing I've seen to that look is colombia. Some of the blk girls look very dominican. Cartegena ?

You can find dark girls in Quito. Now, this is not New York or Chicago, so to speak, but I had a GREAT MP experience for $8 to $10 so with one. She gave me her number, but acted like she did not know me when I called later. Perhaps, she did not remember. In any event, you will find them, but it can be hit or miss. Also, you will see some, not many, on public transportation. When I was there, the girl that sold the tickets at the Basilica del Vota Nacional was a most hot sister. I could kick myself for not asking her out. Keep your eyes open, and ride public transportation.

Let me address this. Now, I did not have any problems after landing. On the plane descent, I did get an ear ache that I have not had in many years. The gum helped minimally. After the landing, I never had a problem. After unpacking, I went to the store--the supermarket was closed--and then visited one of the chongos.
