ich in natural resources, the Pacific coast of Ecuador offers a variety of landscapes depending on latitude — from wild, desert-like beaches to modern seaside resorts and traditional fishing villages.

Stretching approximately 800 kilometers, the Ecuadorian coast is bathed by a warm ocean current, making swimming in its waves a true delight.

We offer several tours to explore Machalilla National Park — descriptions can be found below.

Machalilla National Park

The predominant vegetation here is dry tropical forest, the only one of its kind in all of South America. It serves as a refuge for a wide variety of birds and some mammals, such as black howler monkeys. Off the coast, just a few kilometers away, lies Isla de la Plata, whose flora and fauna closely resemble those of the Galápagos Islands.

Between July and September, one of the most popular activities is humpback whale watching, as these magnificent creatures migrate north from Antarctica to mate and give birth.

Guayaquil

Located in the southern part of Ecuador’s coast, Guayaquil is the country’s largest city and its administrative and economic capital. It is a major port city, handling the export and import of industrial, agricultural, and fishing products.

The city enjoys a tropical climate, with warm temperatures and high humidity, especially during the winter months.
