Make the Most of Montañita
When you feel like venturing from the hotel, discover the charms of this bohemian town. Take in gorgeous views from the religious site of Santuario Blanca Estrella de la Mar, pay homage to Montañita’s surfing history at the Monumento del Surfista, and book a lesson at the renowned Montañita Spanish School or a yoga class at Yoga Montañita. If surfing’s not your scene, try paragliding, parasailing, scuba diving, or snorkeling. You can also make the trek to Machalilla National Park and spot sea turtles, whales, and marine birds on Isla de la Plata.
