My Latin Life’s Guide To E-Commerce In Latin America
My latest of many money-making schemes has been in the world of e-commerce.
I started playing around with it during my last trip to Peru. Appeared the country was ripe for it. Its economy was growing rapidly, and I certainly noticed people with disposal income in Lima, but there was a lack of cool things to buy – many of the big chain American stores that I saw in Mexico that offered impossibly cheap goods hadn’t made their way down, and I knew that import laws were pretty lax compared to countries like Argentina or Ecuador, and manufacturing costs were lower than countries like Chile or Brazil…

Quito, Ecuador – City Guide for Nomads and Expats
Located at an even higher elevation than Cuenca! The highest constitutionally-recognized capital city in the world (La Paz, Bolivia is higher, but it’s an administrative capital only). Also, an official UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Guayaquil, Ecuador – City Guide for Nomads and Expats

Cuenca, Ecuador: City Guide for Expats and Nomads
The third largest city in Ecuador. 2500 meters above sea-level (8,200 ft) so altitude sickness can occur. A popular tourist destination, but not as overrun as Cusco, Peru or Boquete, Panama.
