Description

We are located in Machalilla National Park in Ecuador's Manabí province, just 15 minutes from the town of Puerto López.

We offer complete packages that include visits to the places of greatest interest in Machalilla National Park such as Isla de la Plata, an ecosystem resembling the Galapagos Islands. Our location gives us the privilege of seeing humpback whales from June to September and we offer daily whale-watching tours.

There are ideal sites nearby for scuba diving and we have equipment, instructors, and everything you need for an unforgettable dive.
