Buffett List #7: Stash some trash in Ecuador!
Havana Daydreamin’, Jimmy Buffett. Havana Daydreamin’. ABC Records. 1976.
Beautiful Los Frailes National Park on the Pacific Ocean.
Quite the crowd at this beach!
We took a day trip by boat the Isla de la Plata, aka Poor Man’s Galapagos and about an hour boat ride from the fishing village of Puerto Lopez. I would highly recommend booking with Aventuras la Plata http://www.aventuraslaplata.com/es/inicio/ . The blue footed boobies were adorable!
We saw so many magnificent creatures- whales, sea lions, many birds, and, of course, my favorite sea turtles! We had the chance to snorkel with beautiful tropical fish in the cool Pacific waters.
What a spot! This is surely a slice of life in Margaritaville… at the Hotel Pacifico in Puerto Lopez. It was a perfect way to relax after a day of adventure.
After a short drive out of town, you’re rewarded with a great view of Puerto Lopez.
While tourists come for the beaches and wildlife, Puerto Lopez is still a vibrant fishing village. The numerous frigates circling the area vouched for the authenticity.
