You wake up thinking you're in Abu Dhabi, having dreamed about some labyrinth in Capetown owned by a local gang leader (hey, it was a dream, no it made no sense), and are relieved to find yourself at an airport hotel in Santiago. Right. You love airport hotels - gateways to wherever! So, What about Quito?!
Crucial Constructs has issued a new guide to help digital nomads who want to set up temporary or permanent shop in Quito.

The marketing training company's 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. That is, don't pass through Brazil or Uganda, e.g. Or do - of course! - but get vaccinated.
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. If you're an American, you don't need to worry 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 you 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.”
So, why not Quito? It's actually a great time to go as the new state-of-the-art subway/metro should finally be open this year, so the city is buzzing in anticipation. The 24-hour hotel airport bar can only get you so far - like back to bed!
