On the Vilcabamba-Loja thread about places in southern Ecuador, Susan F. surprised me with the information that there are no gasoline stations in Vilcabamba.

Posting from Fort Worth, Texas, SawMan immediately saw this as an opportunity for the right visitor to the Ecuador forum.

As of the moment, we learned from Susan, Vilca drivers have to go to the larger town of Malacatos, Ecuador -- which is 15 minutes away -- to gas up their vehicles.

And now you know the rest of the story: why we are calling this the business opportunity of the week.

Maybe she was trying to say that a service station would be a good opportunity. The question is, why is there not one already there? I would think by now someone would have thought the same.

Perhaps there is a reason none exist at this point. Someone familiar with, or living in the area could probably answer this question.?
