Guayaquil and Montañita, Ecuador

With our job done at Carnaval it was once again time to hit the road, this time I would be traveling south on the coast of Ecuador with 3 San Diego lifeguards. Michelle, Dan and Marcos. We decided the first spot to go was the party surf town of Montañita where other guards from Project Ecuador had worked during Carnaval. There we negotiated a beach front cabin for $5 a night each and went straight to the ocean.

Montañita is a really fun party town with sand streets, artisans selling their art, juice stalls and lots of Argentinean and Chilean youngster looking for a good time in their vacation.


Tomate de Arbol, a bit sour but delicious!

Maracuyá y Fresa smoothies

After a wonderful beach time, live reggae, delicious juices and Ceviche it was time to continue the journey. Dan would be flying home from Guayaquil and Marcos was on his way to the Galapagos so the four of us stopped at Gaby´s for one night and then Michelle and I continued to see the sights of Guayaquil and relex a bit before heading down to Peu.

Gaby and Miguel not only help with Project Ecuador but were amazing hosts at their home and we had a really fun time together. Cannot wait to show the smae hospitality when they come to visit California.
