7. Ecuador

Ecuador offers a little bit of everything – from stunning beaches to buzzing cities and mountainous landscapes. Top destinations for retirees are Quito, the capital, and Cuenca.

Aubree Sorteberg, an American who lives in Ecuador, claims that life in Cuenca “has a retreat-like feel to it.” She enjoys panoramic views of the Andes mountains and the blue domes of the Nueva Catedral, which open up from her apartment windows.

Aside from quality private healthcare options, Ecuador is also a cheap place to live in. An apartment located in Quito or Cuenca city center would only cost you up to $430 to live in and a three-course meal runs for $35 or less.
