Guayaquil🇪🇨

If genuine affordability is your jam, this Ecuadorian city is worth a look. You can snag a 1-bedroom apartment in the center for around $400, or even $280 outside. Eating out is incredibly cheap – a meal can be had for $3, and even a mid-range restaurant won't break the bank at $11. Groceries are also very manageable at about $220 a month. This makes it ideal for budget-conscious nomads or those looking to stretch their dollar. Internet is decent at 50 Mbps, though reliability is only fair. There are a handful of coworking spaces, but don't expect a buzzing nomad scene; the community is small, and English proficiency is low. Visa entry is easy, which is a plus. The biggest caveat? Safety. With a safety index of 45, you’ll need to be street-smart and aware of your surroundings, especially if you're used to very safe environments.
