If you are filing for a Temporary/Permanent visa, I offer a 100% money back guarantee. That’s right. If I don’t get you your visa, you pay nothing. My name is Isabel Mosquera. I am an Ecuadorian, who studied and lived in Canada for many years. I have been a Visa Facilitator for over 7 years and have assisted more than two hundred and fifty Expats in obtaining their Visas, Temporary and Permanent, Cedulas, Translations, Health Insurance, housing and much more. These services are available as one fee package or individually. I own a car, so transportation is always included at no extra charge. I have always gotten my clients their Visas, even under the most difficult of circumstances, such as unreadable fingerprints for FBI reports. Have you moved to Ecuador without the required documents? Don’t worry, I can help. I offer free consultations, either by telephone, email or in person. I am at the Immigration office on a very regular basis, so I am knowledgeable about all recent changes in the law and am happy to share my knowledge with you. I will be happy to provide you with references.
I look forward to serving you.

After 25 years of practice, Iván describes his approach to yoga simply: “Each class is an experience — a meditation in movement.”
His practice is rooted in Purna Yoga / Integral Yoga, drawing from pranayama, Kundalini practices, Hatha Yoga asanas, breath, attention, and meditation — weaving together what best supports the students present and the practice unfolding that day.
The intention isn’t simply to complete a series of postures.
It’s to move with awareness.
To breathe consciously.
To quiet the mind.
To reconnect body and attention.
And, little by little, to bring the different parts of ourselves into greater harmony and carry more balance into everyday life.
Iván is currently offering small-group Integral Yoga classes in Cuenca on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, near Parque Tarqui-Guzho.
🌿 90-minute practice
🌿 Small, personal groups
🌿 Beginners and experienced practitioners welcome
If you’re curious about developing a steadier practice for body, mind, and spirit, message Casa Aguacolla for class times and availability.

Today we want to tell a story about friendship the kind that grows between organizations that show up for one another, year after year.
Since Hearts of Gold Foundation was founded in Cuenca in 2013, we’ve partnered with more than 50 organizations across Ecuador. 3 have walked this road with us since our earliest years: NOVA, CETAP Lucy, and Fundación El Arenal.
For us, alliance has never meant just being friendly online. It has meant sharing knowledge, training, and services openly, without keeping score proof that nonprofits can build each other up instead of competing for scarce resources.
Not every chapter has been easy. Together we’ve faced tight budgets, uncertain years, and crises alongside the families we serve. When COVID tested every organization’s strength, we leaned on our alliances and friendship.
This past Friday, September 11th, we gathered for a special reason: our dear friend Maribel, Executive Director of Fundación El Arenal, said goodbye to her role. El Arenal continues its work, but Maribel is stepping down. We looked back on shared memories, embraced, and thanked her for all she has given.
For 11 years, Maribel walked hand in hand with Hearts of Gold. Her passion and love for the community will stay with us. She isn’t leaving our story she’ll continue as an unconditional friend to NOVA, CETAP Lucy, and Hearts of Gold.
Thank you, dear Maribel, for your generous heart of gold. And thank you to every partner organization for proving nonprofits can stand together, not alone.

Recently it has been verified that many have lost the opportunity to be regular in Ecuador due to bad information received by some facilitators.
The Visa process is a legal issue that must be carefully handled and processed and strictly adhered to the law.
