Landscapes and experiences not lived twice in life

It was a beautiful and relaxing family trip, the snorkering and the views and the hike to the silver island and the view of the whales was something magical I recommend, a unique experience

Humpback whales in Ecuador, Manabi

Humpback whale watching in Manabí is an impressive experience that attracts thousands of tourists each year. These majestic creatures migrate from Antarctica to the warm waters of Manabí to reproduce and raise their young.
