Crucial Constructs, an online marketing education firm, has published a new report on life and work for digital nomads in Quito, Ecuador.
The marketing training company has issued a new guide to help digital nomads who want to set up temporary or permanent shop in Quito. The report explains everything the aspiring nomad needs to know, from visa requirements to wireless access and laptop ‘safe havens,’ to lodging and leisure options.

Crucial Constructs’ new report states that Americans and EU nationals, for instance, are granted a 90-day T-3 boarding pass upon arrival. Those looking to work in Ecuador require a work visa, while entrance restrictions apply to citizens of select countries. Additionally, a yellow fever certificate is mandatory for travelers who have transited through – or originated from – certain countries, and several other vaccinations are advised, as the city sits on the edge of the rainforest.
Quito, the second highest capital city in the world – after La Paz, Bolivia – is a UNESCO heritage site of over 3 million people, featuring one of the few original historic centers in Latin America. While infrastructure development has been slow to catch up to population growth, its new, modern subway – or metro – is slated to commence operations this year, and its Wi-Fi network is on par with the rest of the continent – fast, affordable, and reliable, according to reports. The median speed for mobile is approximately 27 Mbps.
The guide explains that the cost of living in Quito is quite modest in comparison with other regional capitals. A two-bedroom apartment or condo in a good neighborhood, for example, can range from $450-$900, and while the cost of food staples is low, people who opt to dine out should expect to pay no more than $10 for dinner. Digital nomads from the U.S. do not need to be concerned about exchange rates, as the country’s official currency is the U.S. dollar.
The Crucial Constructs report highlights the best six places in the city for nomads to experience dedicated remote working environments. PLAY House, for example, which doubles as a co-living space, features fast Wi-Fi, standing desks, ergonomic chairs, video recording devices and microphones, and quiet spaces for virtual conferences or online classes.
“It’s never been easier to be a digital nomad,” said a company spokesperson. adding “The pandemic added fuel to the fire as more people are looking to live and work on their own terms. And beautiful Quito is just one of countless destinations well-suited for this lifestyle.”
