SEEKING PARTNERS IN COASTAL ECUADOR ECO-LODGE

[sanson]

Hi Everyone,

Coastal Ecuador is wide open, diving is great, with dozens of shipwrecks and many pre-inca ruin sites along the coast,
(Never been touched with a metal-detector) The land along the coast is extremely cheap,, for example 1 hectare of land roughly 2.5 acres within walking distance to the beach is around 1000-1500 USD. I have been there many,many times and never had a problem everyone has always been extremely kind. Some Fluency in Spanish is a BIG PLUS. I'm Open for Discussion

In 1997 we were instumental in getting the law changed in Ecuador to allow privately funded companies limited permission to research and recover artifacts from colonial galleons in Ecuador's territorial waters.
We subsequently found and salvaged the galleon "Capitana" (1654).
However, in 2008, while rewriting the constitution of Ecuador, President Correa, under pressure from UNESCO, signed a new decress which put an end to all privately funded marine archeology. This decree followed UNESCO guidelines and it was decided that leaving the wrecks untouched in the water would be Ecuador's new approach on how to deal with marine cultural goods.
So....bottom line: If you search, find and salvage marine artifacts in Ecuador, be prepared for the consequences.

Hi Don,

I never planned to search, find, and salvage anything! But isnt it legal to use a metal detector on the beach?

Yes, it is quite unfortunate, that President Correa has put an end to all privately funded marine Archeology,, "Look but don't touch" is what they prefer. I have to side with the law even though it may not be fair. "Life is not fair."
I could offer tourists the opportunity to pick their own fruits and vegetables for dinner. Now that would be ECO-LODGE!!!
I think the govt may prefer us to invest in their country instead of taking their treasure, They must still think we are all just pirates, nothing has really changed much except time. I know from reading a few history books Ecuador has always dealt with Pirates! and this time it appears they have the last say, not the Pirates!
