Nature Reserves and National Parks
The Natural Reserve “Manglares Churute” is located close to the city of Guayaquil. Only about 19 miles southeast of Guayaquil, the reserve consists of a huge area of mangroves. It is home to a lot of species of birds and in the tropical forest you can see (and hear) howler monkeys. Our tour to the reserve also offers the possibility to learn about Ecuadorian cacao and chocolate on a nearby farm.
Machalilla National Park in the province of Manabí offers Ecuador’s most beautiful beach Los Frailes, coastal dry forest, and an archeological open-air museum at the indigenous community of Aguas Blancas. It can be easily visited from Puerto Lopez.
Only a short boat tour away from Puerto Lopez is the Isla de la Plata, which is also part of Machalilla National Park. This small island offers you an amazing variety of animals, almost comparable to the Galapagos Islands.
Archaeological Sites on the Ecuadorian Coast
The Ecuadorian Coast has several important archaeological sites to visit. Valdivia, Jama and Bahia de Caráquez were home to some of the first tribes who lived in the area of the Ecuador of today. Our Archaeological Tour stops at all of these sites and gives you an amazing impression of the ancient times. Especially the informative museums offer plenty of insights of the former cultures. Please contact us for more information.
ECUADORIAN BEACHES
Although Ecuador is not a classic beach destination, it has some beautiful beaches. A huge advantage is that some beaches in Ecuador are still comparatively unexplored and less crowded. The beaches along the Ruta del Sol invite you to relax and to enjoy some good seafood in one of the small beach towns. Possible places to go to are for example Salinas, Jama or Puerto Lopez.
A short stay on the Ecuadorian Coast is the perfect extension to any of our tours. For further information about tours to the Ecuadorian Coast, please feel free to contact us!
