Trips on the Pacific coast

To the west of the Andes lie the coastal lowlands and the Pacific Ocean. Ecuador is privileged because its coasts are bathed to the north by the warm Panama Current, also known as the Niño Current, and to the south by the cold Humboldt Current. Numerous ecosystems of natural importance benefit from this climatic situation, and you can discover them on our trips to the Pacific coast. Mangrove areas are home to large populations of tursiops dolphins and migratory birds. The large maritime platforms of the Pacific Ocean are an ideal breeding ground for humpback whales, which gather here every year between May and September. The coastal rainforests and xerophytic forests of the southern part of the country are a paradise for birdwatching and photography.
