Four cool things to do on the Sun Coast of Ecuador

1. See whales, that’s right, free willy! But only in the months of June to September.

2. Surf and party in Montañita with hippies from over 20 countries at once.

3. Spend a night with the local people in their community Agua Blanca in the Machalilla National Park . The locals are really nice and for small tip they will take you through a neat walk through their dry forest and to bath in their mud pools (no, no mud wrestling allowed unless you are wearing a bikini).

4. Bola de Oro- Visit a cloud forest within the same Machalilla National Park where you can observe monkeys, birds, snakes, and large frogs.
