5 gorgeous places that will make you want to retire overseas

Cotacachi, Ecuador

From the jungle to the beaches, Ecuador features a scenic landscape that can’t be beat. What’s more, the 2014 Global Retirement Index rated it as one of the top countries for quality of life and the World’s Number 1 Retirement Haven. Real estate is a bargain, the cost of living low and there’s a generous array of benefits for retirees. Over-65s get discounts on flights, up to 50% off movies, sporting events, public transport and utilities.  Public transportation is so efficient that many expats report not having to even buy a car and you’ll find world-class medical facilities in the larger cities.
