Utopian Eco Villages Attract Californias Dreamers To Ecuador
John Ham, a blond Californian, settles in Vilcabamba Valley Ecuador with Tina Marshall and Carmen Michilena to build an intentional community of 20 to 30 people on 2470 acres. They plan organic farming, eco tourism, domed housing, and shared resources as an answer to high costs, market focus, and perceived American materialism. Ecuador offers cheap living and welcoming investment climate while battling inflation, political instability, and debt.
