Today I am going to share a special report from Gary Scott, an expert on pretty much everything Ecuador and everything investment as well.

In a recent article, entitled Ecuador Beach Acreage, Gary highlights the investment potential of areas north of Manta and Bahia. He writes:

“Bahía is a Pacific coastal city located on a peninsula about an hour and 15 minutes north of Manta and is bordered by the Chone River. This river creates the opportunity.  The estuary has always stopped the traffic flow.”

Bahia is one of nicest resort areas due to its natural beauty and cleanliness, as well as easy access from Quito, Manta, and Guayaquil. The problem is the estuary makes it hard to access north of this town from Manta.

From Gary’s article:

“There are also two very important reasons why this area north of Bahia real estate may now rise.

First, a new highway is being built between Quito and the coast. This construction is taking much longer than it should and costing way more than budget..but eventually it will be complete and one more concrete freeway will be able to whisk from Quito to Bahia.

Second, some day there will be a bridge across the Chone. Bahia sits on an isthmus between the Pacific Ocean and the huge estuary of the Chone River. If you are traveling from the south up the coast in a northwards direction, you are stopped at the Chone. The drive onwards moves down the Chone for a couple of hours just to get back to the coast north of the estuary north.”
