I am currently in Cuenca Ecuador. It's certainly not true that everyone speaks english, but there is a strong ex-pat community. It's a beautiful, very cheap city. There is fiber internet and there are universities here. A good intellectual atomosphere? Hard to say; there are intelligent people around and you can become friends. I am here specifically to focus on intellectual pursuits while living cheaply. Latin America in general is wonderful for that.
