I cannot tell much about South America, since my only source are TV programs (from Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Argentina), but I've never heard anyone there using "vosotros" in regular conversations.
It's definitely never used in Mexico (but then Mexico is not in South America).

It is used in Spain, rarely, but it's not the same vos as used in Argentina. The voseo is a big subject: http://buscon.rae.es/dpdI/SrvltGUIBu...seo&origen=RAE

"Vos" is like "Tú", maybe you heared something wrong. "Vosotros" is almost never used... I think I have never hearded it outside school and books.
maybe she said something like "los quiero ver a todos pronto/ya" and maybe you heared bad "los" as "vos" or something like that.

Seriously, the one time it was written that way, and I double and triple checked. She wrote "vos" to a family of close friends. It occurred to me that it was different than I had been told, so that's why I checked it again. BUT, the bottom line here is that after reading and re-reading all of this discussion ... I WILL NOT use "vos" or "vosotros" in Latin America. Ever. Just to be safe.

Exist people who use the word Vosotros and vos in Mexico, but normally it's sound very bad at least here in my country already that we should use the word Nosotros and tu, ustedes, ellos, ellas, eso, yo.
I believe that each person has his way very different to speak in anyplace.

laepelba, si lo encontraste escrito puede ser que tengas razón. 'Vos' originalmente es una abreviación de Vosotros, como "Nos", que leo muy amenudo (en libros traducidos o de español de antaño, pero no tan viejo) que sirve de abreviatura a Nosotros. Entonces pudo haber sido como dices.
Espero ver a vos muy pronto = Espero ver a vosotros muy pronto Espero verte a vos muy pronto = Espero verte a ti muy pronto. Fuera del uso escrito, dudo que llegues a escucharlo... ya escrito es rarisimo (nunca lo leí ni escuche, pero por analogía del 'Nos' no me suena raro tampoco). Además, no se confunde nunca con el "vos"(tú) porque el tiempo "vos"(vosotros) es plural. Perdón por no darme cuenta antes, pero era necesario que digas que lo leíste :P

Combine this with Ecuador’s equatorial sunshine...a choice of spectacular mountain, high plains, jungle or coastal settings...plus the welcoming nature of the Ecuadorian people...and you have a combination of quality of life and investment opportunity that’s hard to beat. Ecuador is a fascinating place to live at any price. But when a couple can live well here on less than $500 a month…it's a no-brainer.
