There is special opportunity in Ambato Ecuador condos. New Ecuador real estate opportunities in Ambato.
Here is an Ambato, Ecuador condo for sale.
When Merri and I first moved to Ecuador we lived for over a year with an indigenous community near Ambato. We loved the beauty of this land and its location in the middle of Ecuador….and enjoyed the ride along the Avenue of the Volcanos to and from our home in a small village.
Here is a special opportunity in Ambato, Ecuador real estate.
Since Merri and I arrived in Ecuador more than 15 years ago, a flood of expats have moved in, most going to the coast or near Cotacachi and Cuenca.
This has caused real estate inflation… but there are still interesting Ecuador real estate opportunities in other beautiful parts of Ecuador such as Ambato.
Here is an Ambato condo for sale.
When Merri and I first moved to Ecuador we lived for over a year with an indigenous community near Ambato. We loved the beauty of this land and its location in the middle of Ecuador.
Two beautiful mountains on the way to Ambato from Quito are Cotapaxi and Tungurahua.
Mt. Cotapaxi.
Mt. Tungurahua
The full name of Ambato is San Juan de Ambato and it sits on the banks of the Ambato River. This is the capital of Tungurahua province at an elevation of 7,500 feet. The population is less than 200,000 so it is a fair sized city.
Here is Ambato seen from several Ambato condos for sale.
Our friend, Dr. Glenn Stirling, a doctor as well as a professional photographer, visited Ambato and photographed these Santamaria condos.
In the Shadow of Tunguarhua By Glenn Stirling
No cable cars, Golden Gate or Bay Bridge comprise Ambato, Ecuador. Many of its main roads North of the river are dug up – likely a long project to upgrade. With its hills and valleys, you could swear you were in San Francisco, California (just without the bay). Views are as common as a smile and a friendly wish in this ultra safe city with a small town feel.
With 180,000 people, there are enough twists, turns, cliffs, river valley and hills to compete anywhere. 330,000 people live in the greater area. This city is alive, only needing a half dozen more bridges across the volcanic river dividing everything you need on both sides.
Saturday night found us hungry (Tenemos hambre). La Hue’k, a tiny hole in the wall, (with the best BBQ chicken you’ve ever had) combined ensalata (salad) and papas fritas (French fries). It was bye bye hunger. Less than $20 USD (Ecuador uses the US dollar) fed two of us happily.
Sunday morning’s coffee? Nope! Virtually all restaurants are closed at 7:30-8:00 A:M. Most closed all Sunday. Cerviche (delicious fish soup) was breakfast (choice of two). 3 people, each with Cerviche and a few drinks – $12.00. Delicioso.
Ambato’s narrow streets are reminscient of Asia and San Francisco combined – old, charming and interesting. We stayed in Pinllo (Pronouned PIN-JO, a suburb) half way up a hill leading to Ambato Mocha. This is a massive, beautiful and ultra clean Provincial Park 3,300 Square Km. (1500 Square miles) just minutes from Quisapincha (a small leather goods manufacturing town) with some of the world’s most fertile soil in between.
Awakening to roosters, views of the valley and distant Tunguhura (an active Volcano in the far distance) in a super modern condo made Ambato feel like home. Where else could you stay in total comfort without heat or air, less than an hour from Banos – close to the Amazon? Glenn Stirling

I am willing to do a trade of real estate for real estate. I am looking for NYC or Florida beach properties. I am also willing to entertain a trade in Ecuador itself. I am willing to take gold in exchange and/or collectible gold coins. Eddie Santamaria
There has been a growing rise in expat real estate sales pushing up the price of real estate in Ecuador… but not evenly. There are places where prices remain especially low and readers would do well to consider real estate in an around Ambato.
We DO NOT investigate properties when they are advertised so be sure to complete your due diligence and always use an independent Ecuador attorney who represents you (not the seller) when you buy real estate in Ecuador. We also recommend that you rent before you buy and become familiar with Ecuador.
Ambato Ecuador condos and commercial shops… Ecuador income producing property for sale.
Ambato is one of Ecuador’s important cities but has been largely ignored by expats. This gives readers a chance to have income producing real estate at a lower price than you’ll typically find in Quito, Cuenca or Cotacachi.
These are Ambato condos and income producing properties with this view.
Because of Ecuador’s growing real estate market, you can enjoy an Ambato, Ecuador real estate tour free.
Yesterday’s message on Cuenca real estate showed how much global attention Ecuador real estate is gaining. As the Ecuador real estate market booms, we are doing as much as we can, as a small company, to help our readers gain an entire view of this wonderful Andean country. We have added Ecuador real estate tours in three new locations and expanding our staff and contacts throughout Ecuador.
For 2010 we have added Cuenca real estate tours, Quito/Mindo real estate tours and south coast Ecuador real estate tours as well as the Imbabura real estate tours and Ecuador mid coast real estate tours we have conducted for several years.
We have been conducting Ecuador real estate tours about a decade longer than anyone else… yet it takes time to develop a structure to provide Ecuador real estate tours everywhere so when Eddie Santamaria, the Ecuadorian living in York who placed this ad suggested offering a tour to see his condos and apartments. We thought, “Why not?” and suggested he offer a tour after our January Cuenca tour.
Eddy replied: I believe that Ambato provides great opportunity. Let’s do this: Tell me what the expenses, for a van and driver are and I will pay for them.
I can make arrangements with Hotel Ambato so everyone is well taken care of with no money coming out of their pockets, including your staff.
What I mean is that I will pay for all of their expenses. This means that from now on, you can market to all your readers that the tour includes “Ambato tour” with all expenses paid.
Another: If as a result of the tour, any one of those people attending or because they were referred to me and He/She purchases the whole unit, I will give you 3% of the sale.
How does the above sound to you? Please let me know. It will cost the delegates nothing and they get everything. And, do not forget, “I” will be there along with them. Also, I will make myself present in Cotacachi or San Clemente so you and I can discuss the trip to Ambato. I’ll do this again in January. Eddie.
So we agreed except for one thing. We do not accept commissions! So we have asked Eddie to give any delegate or Ecuador Living subscriber a 3% discount on any property purchased.
If you wish to attend this free tour, contact me at gary@garyascott.com

Ambato Ecuador condos and commercial shops… Ecuador income producing property for sale.
Ambato is one of Ecuador’s important cities but has been largely ignored by expats. This gives readers a chance to have income producing real estate at a lower price than you’ll typically find in Quito, Cuenca or Cotacachi.
These are Ambato condos and income producing properties with this view.
San Juan de Ambato is a city of about 150,000 (half the size of Cuenca) located two hours + (depending on how fast you drive) south of Quito in the central Andean corridor.
The city is cut by the Ambato River and surrounded by tall mountains. This is the capital of the province of Tungurahua and is at an elevation of 7,500 feet (about the same as Cotacachi). It is called the “City of Flowers and Fruit” and “Garden of Ecuador.”
Ambato’s economy includes fruit, tanneries, food products and textiles plus is a main transportation hub, since the Pan-American Highway passes through there.
The city of Ambato was founded in the late 1600s and declared independence from Spain in the early 1800s. Ambato was the seat of the first printing press in Ecuador; this was originally installed in 1670 by Jesuit missionaries to print copies of the Bible.
Construction here is very solid due to a massive earthquake many years ago. It is described as one of the most earthquake-resistant places on earth.
Ambato is a modern city because all old buildings were destroyed by the earthquake.
Ambato enjoys a mostly warm and sunny climate. The average temperature during most of the year stays between 60 to 70 degrees F.
The views from these condos cover most of Ambato.
