Ibarra
8.3
High score (8-10) · Your profile
Ibarra is the provincial capital of Imbabura at 2,200m — a colonial city of roughly 200,000 with a real university population thanks to the Universidad Técnica del Norte, which keeps a young educated crowd in the bars and cafes around Parque La Merced and Parque Pedro Moncayo. Local salaries average in the $500–600/month range, so a foreign income signals clearly without you having to try. The novelty factor is genuine — Ibarra doesn't see the volume of foreign men that Quito does, which works in your favor. Conservative highland culture means connections take longer to build than on the coast, but they tend to be more substantive.
