André and his family have visisted various countries. Ecuador really caught their attention, especially Santa Marianita. It met their criteria for a home away from home.

Warmth, warmth , warmth! Actually it exceeded 100% in meeting important criterea that foreigners look for in order to feel safe and comfortable while away from home. Here are some of the reasons why Ecuador is attractive and the right place to be;

Security, friendliness of the people, affordability, tranquility, spectacular oceanviews, excellent food, accessibility to amenities and central towns, excellent and affordable health care, accessibility to  the Amazon rainforest , Andes Mountains, the Galápagos Islands and the Pacific Ocean. The  climate is always perfect, with no fear of hurricanes or tornadoes. Ecuador is a pivotal point of access to other nearby countries such as Columbia, Peru, Panama and Chile.

Ecuador for André and his family has become their home away from home. André decided to invest in Ecuador and really get involved with the contruction industry. He looks forward to Casa Blanca and Shangri-La condo developments.

Kite Surfing In Ecuador?

Kite surfing in general has not been around for a very long time.  Kite surfing in Ecuador has some history dating back to the 1980′s. However kite surfing as we know it today was said to have been created sometime in the late 1970′s by a small group of windsurfers These early pioneers experimented with kite surfing by using paraglider wings and surfboards. Over time this small group of thrill seekers grew in numbers, and techniques and gear evolved as time went on.  It actually was not until around the late 1990′s that the sport of kite surfing adapted to what it is known today.

Kite surfing in Ecuador is a viable sport with competitions and plenty of schools to teach newbies.

Kite Surfing in Santa Marianita, Ecuador

Kite surfing in Ecuador offers incredible opportunity for beginners and experienced riders. Why is Ecuador so popular for the sport? Kite surfing in Ecuador is popular because of the ideal wind conditions, warm waters, excellent waves and long flat sandy beaches. With plenty of schools along the beach filled with certified instructors, kite surfing in Ecuador is a no brainer decision.

Santa Marianita has the best kite surfing in Ecuador!

After a hard day of kite surfing in Ecuador, you can relax at the Casa Blanca Hotel in Santa Marianita!

Most people who have had the opportunity to try their hand at kite surfing in Ecuador agree that Santa Marianita, Ecuador has one of the best kite surfing in Ecuador, and perhaps the world. Kite surfing in Ecuador can boast the “best in the world” title because of the fact that few places in the world have long and wide beaches, making learning and instruction easier.  You don’t have to worry about running into people, and terrain as much as you would at a crowded smaller beach. Santa Marianita, Ecuador has hosted the International Kiteboarding Competition. This is an exciting time to watch the pros in action competing for the cash prize and prestige of the sport.
