ITINERARIES IN ECUADOR
In no other country in South America you can travel so easily and
discover such a diversity of interesting cultures and beautiful
nature than in Ecuador. We have set up several itineraries for you,
like classical Ecuador roundtrips, Ecuador in modules and
Ecuador in special themes, on which you can experience
the best of Ecuador in a limited period of time.
The itineraries depend on arrival and departure times of different
airlines, ships and the train to the legendary 'Devil's Nose'. The
following examples are only proposals and can be altered any time
according to your wishes and interests. We are more than glad to
put together for you your individual travel itinerary free of charge
and without obligation.

Journey along the Ruta del Sol (Avenue of the sun) to Puerto López
with stopover in the fishing village and surf paradise of Montañita.
Day 4: Machalilla Nationalpark
Visit of Machalilla National Park and journey to Manta.
With 55.000ha the Machalilla National Park invites you to watch
interesting bird species and to hike through the tropical rainforest.
24km in front of the coast the Isla de la Plata is situated, about
36km north west of Puerto López, which had been the former
hiding place of, among others, the famous privateer Sir Francis
Drake. The variety of birds, such as frigates, masked boobies, blue-footed
and red-footed boobies, and the occasional visits of a sea lion
family have given the island the name of 'Little Galápagos'.
From June to September you can observe the courtship among humpback
whales. Relax on one of the marvellous beaches, such as for instance
Los Frailes, a 5km long white sandy beach.

Day 5: Manta
Due to its deep-sea port and its fishing industry, Manta (ca. 150.000
inhabitants) is today one of the leading economic areas in Ecuador.
From here you can easily reach Montecristi (about 10km south east
of Manta) where the paja toquilla is harvested which is used to
produce the famous panama hats. Here, you can visit a hat factory.
