Canoa has a small and welcoming ex-pat community, making it a comfortable place to call home and a great jumping-off point to explore the incredible diversity that Ecuador has to offer.

Canoa, a laid-back fishing village, has an abundant variety of fresh produce and seafood that is readily available at the local markets. The city of Bahia de Caraquez is located 12km to the South and offers shopping and other professional services.
