Geography
Ecuador sits on the equator, spanning a Pacific coast, Andean highlands (the capital Quito sits at nearly 2,850m), and Amazon rainforest, plus the Galapagos Islands offshore.
Economy and Key Industries
Oil, agriculture (bananas, cacao), and a developing construction sector; the US dollar as official currency provides a degree of monetary stability unusual in the region.
Foreign Worker Population
A smaller, developing foreign-labor market; EMIGRATLY contract volume here is more limited.
Lifestyle for Foreign Workers
Climate varies by altitude, from tropical on the coast to cool in the Andean highlands. Cost of living is relatively affordable, and the US dollar simplifies remittances home.
Sectors EMIGRATLY Places Into
Construction and facility management are EMIGRATLY's primary Ecuador sectors.
