Overview

  • Our most complete day tour in Manta. Immerse yourself in the culture, nature, and history of Manta and Montecristi.

    Visit the engine of the local economy, the Fish Market, and the boatyard.

    Explore the lush rainforest of Pacoche and spot howler monkeys in their natural habitat. Pacoche offers a glimpse into the vibrant diversity of Ecuador's tropical forests and coastal landscape.

    We'll treat you to a bowl of Tonga, a traditional Manabí stew slow-cooked in banana leaves, rich with local spices and the flavours that have defined coastal Ecuadorian cooking for generations.

    Learn about Ecuador's history of revolution in Montecristi, considered the birthplace of “Panama hats” or Ecuadorian Toquilla Straw Hat. This picturesque town is also home to hat ateliers, where you can learn about the final process of hat making.
