The Best Attractions In Ayampe

Ecuadorian Coast Adventures - Magical Ayampe!

Fieldwork break for Georgia's birthday on the Ecuadorian coast!

Places visited:
Ayampe - the most magical surf town on Earth.
Puerto Lopez - with the wonderful Hosteria Mandala.
Isla de la Plata (also known as the poor man's Galapagos) - and some blue footed boobies.
Comunidad Agua Blanca in Machalilla National Park - and the sulfuric mud that I accidentally tasted.
Montañita - the party town where one afternoon was perfectly sufficient for us old broads.

Places we stayed at:
Ganso y Búho in Ayampe, Ecuador
Hosteria Mandala in Puerto Lopez, Ecuador


Other travel info:
Yoga: For yoga (and home-baked bread!) in Ayampe, we went to the wonderful Otra Ola

Getting there: From the Oriente, we took a bus to Quito, flew to Guayaquil on Avianca Air ( and then took a bus from Guayaquil via Jipijapa to Puerto Lopez (and returned from Ayampe to Guayaquil by bus from Olón, near Montañita).

Isla de la Plata: For day tours of Isla de la Plata (an island which is part of Machalilla National Park), arrange with any of the tour businesses along the Puerto Lopez malecón. Our tour was part exploring the island and seeing blue footed boobies and part snorkeling, though during whale season the snorkeling is replaced with humpback whale watching! Tours are generally between 30 and 40 USD per person.

Surfing: Though we were not brave enough to try surfing, there are lots of opportunities to learn to surf in Montañita, Ayampe, and Puerto Lopez, and of course, lots of opportunities for experienced surfers to enjoy the waves as well!

Mostly, in conclusion: visit Ayampe!!!

Ecuador is a country straddling the equator on South America’s west coast. Its diverse landscape encompasses Amazon jungle, Andean highlands and the wildlife-rich Galápagos Islands. In the Andean foothills at an elevation of 2,850m, Quito, the capital, is known for its largely intact Spanish colonial center, with decorated 16th- and 17th-century palaces and religious sites, like the ornate Compañía de Jesús Church.

Ayampe, Ecuador - A Sleepy Beach Town in Manabí

A sleepy beach town with several options to find good food, good housing and the place to find a peace of mind. Only a 20 minutes bus ride to the party town of Montañita, if thats what you want to do. In this case I stayed in Ayampe with the love of my life. Also, a special appearance from the homies of SALÚ from Guayaquil with special guests Merceditas and Juan Sebastian. And a good recommendation to go eat at Picantera El Paso serving fresh food at a affordable price. Enjoy!! Music by: Adolfo Echeverria (Barranquilla, Col.) Fito Olivarez (Tamaulipas, Mex) and Candelaria Cumbia Dub (Oakland, California)

=========================
The US Centers for Disease Control has issued a travel alert suggesting that pregnant women postpone travel to Ecuador, where Zika virus transmission is ongoing. All travellers should protect themselves from mosquito bites. The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office advises against all travel within the 20km exclusion zone along the border with Colombia except for the official border crossing town of Tulcan in Carchi province. There are a number of active volcanoes in Ecuador. The Cotopaxi volcano has experienced renewed activity in August 2015 and restrictions are in place. Don’t climb the Tungurahua, Reventador, Chiles and Cerro Negro volcanoes.
===================================
Ecuador is a country in Northwestern South America, with a Pacific Ocean coastline, lying on the Equator between Colombia, to the northeast, and Peru, to the south and east.

Cotopaxi is the world's highest active volcano. Many cities and sites in Ecuador are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Such cities and best known places are the Galapagos Islands, and the city of Cuenca.

Ecuador is the most biodiverse country in the world. Ecuador has over one hundred different types of hummingbirds and thousands of orchid varieties. Cuyabeno Wild Life Reserve, Mindo and San Luis de Pambil are all good places to see many types of flora and fauna. The Galapagos Islands are justly famed for their wildlife.

The Cuyabeno Wild Life Reserve is probably the best place to see the Amazon Rainforest in Ecuador, even though there are other national parks which are also interesting (such as the Yasuni National Park). It's a place of high biodiversity and nature lovers should feel in paradise. That's a good way to discover the indigenous communities of Ecuador and to eventually meet a local shaman. It's necessary to get to Lago Agrio to reach the reserve. Private transportation is made possible by the local accommodation, which is provided by eco-lodges.

The beaches in Ecuador are amazing, including: Salinas, Bahia de Caraquez, Manta, Crucita, San Jacinto, and San Clemente. They offer very inexpensive hotel accommodations, great food and friendly people. But there are also very upmarket establishments as well.

History
=========
The Republic of the Ecuador was one of three countries that emerged from the collapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the others being Colombia and Venezuela). Between 1904 and 1942, Ecuador lost territories in a series of conflicts with its neighbors. A border war with Peru that flared in 1995 was resolved in 1999.

Climate
=======
Ecuador has many climate zones, from tropical along coast to cooler and dryer inland at higher elevations; tropical in Amazonian jungle lowlands. Ecuador is unusual in that one can choose any climate one wishes by where in the country one travels to. Lying on the equator means there is no summer or winter; however, there are typically wetter and drier seasons. The 'wetter' season is usually between December - June , while the drier season runs from July - November.

Crime
=========
Ecuador has quickly become the safest country in Latin America (South and Central America). Its violent crime rate is half that of most of the United States with the popular cities of Cuenca and Loja being the safest.

Cities
=====
Quito - Quito, the capital of Ecuador stands at an altitude of 2,850 m. The city has the best-preserved, least altered historic centre in Latin America.

Ambato - The central city of Ecuador. Special celebrations during Carnival time.

Baños- The adventure capital of Ecuador at the foot of an active volcano having small eruptions of ash and lava. Volcano Tungurahua. There are also many hot spring mineral baths as its name would imply.

Cuenca - The third largest city in Ecuador and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Trust site

Guayaquil - Largest city in the country and largest port city

Loja - The oldest colonial city

Manta - Largest coastal city and third largest city in Ecuador. Fastest growing city in Ecuador. Home to the largest port in Ecuador

Otavalo - Small town only two hours north of the capital famous for its Saturday market of indigenous crafts and livestock

Ibarra - Town of 100,000 inhabitants halfway between Quito and the northern border

Riobamba - Starting point of the famous train ride down the Nariz del Diablo and gateway to Mount Chimborazo, Ecuador's highest peak
