Day Trip Details
We'll pick you up from your hotel in Guayaquil and head to the Pacific coast along the Spondylus Route, a famous coastal road known for its stunning ocean views.
Our first stop is the Venus de Valdivia Museum, recognized as part of Ecuador's cultural heritage for its scientific and archaeological value. After a guided tour to learn about the secrets and history of this famous ancient culture, we'll head to Valdivia Marine Park, where your guide will tell you about the area's marine biodiversity and conservation projects.
Next, we'll make our way to Montañita, one of the country's most famous beach destinations. After a walk through its colorful streets, traditional buildings, local craft stalls, and bohemian vibe, we'll head to Playa Las Brujas.
Once we reach the beach, we'll gear up with safety equipment for a 10- to 15-minute tandem paragliding flight. From up in the air, you'll take in spectacular views of the coastline and the Pacific Ocean.
After the flight, we'll head back, stopping at a restaurant along the way to refuel with a traditional lunch. Finally, we'll wrap up the activity back at the starting point after 6 to 7 hours in total.
