My expat journey
Checa, Pichincha, Ecuador
We lived in Cuenca before finding Pakakuna Gardens near the new Quito airport. We fell in love with the gardens, the sun and the location and couldn't wait to move here. We bought in August of 2014 and moved that December and haven't looked back!
I am retired. I love to garden, ride horses, cook, read, watch movies and explore Ecuador.
The weather here is a micro climate so we have wonderful weather and sun all the time. It never gets too hot nor too cold. We have wonderful cool nights and beautiful sunny days.
There is nothing I don't like about Pakakuna Gardens.
