We took a guest inside one of the only certified organic, fair trade coffee farms in southern Ecuador, right here in San Pedro de Vilcabamba. You'll walk through the coffee plants, see how the beans are processed and naturally dried, visit the organic fertilizer lab, and finish with a professional coffee tasting guided by a certified coffee grader.
This region has won 10 out of 16 national specialty coffee competitions in Ecuador. The coffee here is no accident — and after watching this video, you'll understand exactly why.

Life in Loja Ecuador

I've spent the last 8+ years living and working as a bilingual tour guide in Loja, Ecuador — a city that most people have never heard of, but that surprises everyone who arrives.

I recently published a video sharing my personal Top 10 things to do in Loja — not from a travel blog or a listicle, but from nearly a decade of on-the-ground experience guiding tourists and expatriates through this region.

The list covers everything from the historic colonial downtown and Podocarpus National Park — one of the most biodiverse protected areas on the planet — to specialty coffee, traditional Lojano cuisine, and the Villonaco Wind Farm, one of Ecuador's first large-scale renewable energy projects.

Loja is gaining attention as a destination for expats from the US and Canada seeking an affordable, safe, and culturally rich place to live. If you work in international relocation, retirement planning, or travel, this city is worth knowing.

Happy to answer any questions about Loja — in the comments or directly.
