"Cotacachi, is a popular destination for expats, and there are numerous clubs and activities they can join to meet people and integrate into the local community. One of the most popular is the Cotacachi Expats Group, which organizes regular social events, cultural activities, and volunteer opportunities. There are also language exchange groups where expats can practice their Spanish and locals can practice their English, fostering mutual understanding and friendships. For those interested in arts and crafts, there are various workshops and classes available, such as pottery, painting, and traditional Ecuadorian crafts. Music lovers can join local choirs or music groups, while sports enthusiasts can participate in local soccer clubs, hiking groups, or yoga classes. Expats can also get involved in community service or volunteer work, which is a great way to give back to the community and meet like-minded individuals. This could involve helping out at local schools, participating in environmental conservation projects, or assisting with community development initiatives. In addition to joining clubs and participating in activities, expats often meet people through everyday interactions. This could be at local markets, cafes, or festivals, or through their children's schools. Many expats also form connections through their housing communities or neighborhoods, as many areas in Cotacachi have a mix of locals and expats living side by side. Finally, online platforms and social media groups are also a great way for expats to connect with each other and with locals. These platforms often share information about upcoming events, local news, and tips for living in Cotacachi, making them a valuable resource for newcomers," explained one expat living in Cotacachi, Ecuador.
