Cotacachi Fine Crafts

SteveM — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 17:48:21 +0000

Learn how to become a homeowner of new homes built by a designer of Cotacachi fine crafts.
When I see a tapestry such as this below from Jose Cotacachi I marvel at the technique, design, dedication and art involved.

I had my eye on this one but finally a client bought it back in September for [...]

Cotacachi Arts and Crafts

SteveM — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 20:04:35 +0000

Arts and Crafts in and around Cotacachi are becoming ever more known and in part that is due to our Import Export tours.
I’d say that at least a third of the 24 delegates on our last Ecuador import export tour were folks returning to Ecuador after being on other types of tours or seminars on [...]

Cotacachi Opportunity – Cheap printing

SteveM — Sat, 17 May 2008 15:14:53 +0000

The import export course is over. And several delegates took advantage of another Cotacachi opportunity – cheap printing!
Today satisfied and content delegates were dropped off in Quito and as always hugs and farewells were exchanged between new found friends and acquaintances. Business cards were also exchanged – newly printed business cards with delegates taking advantage of Francisco Echeverria´s [...]

Ecuador Healthy Life – Live there for beauty

SteveM — Thu, 15 May 2008 22:00:47 +0000

One way to enhance the chances of living a long and healthy life is to reduce stress. One way to do that is to live in a low cost, beautiful place. Ecuador is such a place. Low cost? Believe me. You can live like a king for $2,000 a month. Beauty? Let the pictures below speak for themselves.

Yesterday morning, while on the current Import Export seminar, we were on an expedition investigating possibilities to export products made from Cape gooseberries.

We journeyed to the hills above Cotacachi to see a typical grower’s small holding, part of an operation receiving some international grants to export finished products such as trail mixes made up of dried Cape gooseberries.

Coming down a country path ….

we encountered an old indigenous fellow coming up the path …

Tired and laden down with his belongings and on his way home after a hard morning’s work in the fields

He took a simple delight in extending a morning greeting to each of us

and we in turn took extra delight from walking in the Ecuadorian countryside.

Not long after we were able to taste the Cape gooseberries ourselves. Cape gooseberries are another facet of an Ecuador healthy life because they are renowned for lowering your blood pressure.

This took the edge off our pre-lunch hunger and then in the afternoon we made our way to nearby Peguche the weavers village. Of course, an after lunch walk is always a good idea and the walk to Peguche shows the beauty of Ecuador. A walk like this every day can easily be part of a healthy life in Ecuador?

I see more beauty in one week in Ecuador and more opportunities for a healthy life than I ever saw living in Europe.

There is just one more Import Export course this year in October. But a feature of all our courses is that we get out into the Ecuadorian countryside and villages and this always shows me the beauty and healthy lifestyles of Ecuador.

Cuenca Condos in Ecuador

SteveM — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 02:11:03 +0000

My good friends, Bill Bushnell (Bush), and his wife, Leita Hulmes, had a dream to retire in Ecuador to a mid-sized charming city as well as a beach condo. It’s easy to understand why they chose a spacious and modern condo in Cuenca within walking distance to the historic colonial city center. [...]

Handicrafts in Ecuador

SteveM — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 22:23:18 +0000

Ecuador handicrafts can be found at every turn in this wonderfully diverse country. When the guidebooks talk about diversity in Ecuador they are normally referring to the flora and fauna, or possibly the people. But I see diversity in many other fields as well, not least Ecuadorian handicrafts.
Here I am down in Cuenca visiting [...]

Ecuador Handicrafts

SteveM — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 21:59:11 +0000

Ecuador handicrafts can be found throughout Ecuador. Now I am down in Cuenca visiting a friend who has part retired here. No visit to Cuenca would be complete without a visit to one of the ceramics galleries here in town.

When it comes to personal taste in art I’m most drawn to paintings and ceramics. But whatever your taste Ecuador handicrafts have something for you. Be it paintings, sculptures, ceramics, woven art, jewelry, theater or even the cinema it’s here. What could be better if you love discovering art or handicrafts than pay a visit to Ecuador and learn how to make a business exporting handicrafts from here back to your home country.
