Cuenca Ecuador made #1 as a retirement destination by International Living, and the following write-up is from Live and Invest Overseas by Kathleen Peddicord. Here's their article: "Cuenca, Ecuador...the most affordable retirement haven in the Americas...has colonial splendor, magnificent weather, and a rock-bottom cost of living. Travelers come from the world over to enjoy these 250 square blocks of history; to study in Cuenca's world-class language schools; or to experience a rare glimpse of unadulterated life in an Andean colonial city. But expat retirees want more. Besides treasuring the city's rich culture and colonial charm, they want to take advantage of a cost of living that's among the lowest in Latin America...real estate prices that are unheard-of in a city with such a rich quality of life...an unbeatable retiree benefit package...and a thriving expat community surrounded by a warm and welcoming people who make you feel like you really belong. So let me give it to you straight. I lived in Cuenca for several years and have traveled to just about every other country in Latin America. In my opinion, the country of Ecuador is the best deal out there when it comes to an overseas retirement destination...and Cuenca is the best that Ecuador has to offer. If you're retiring on a budget, Cuenca should be top of your list."
