This adventure starts in the city of manta, manabi province, in the pacific coast of ecuador.
You will begin the ride at sea level and little by little, the path takes you through ceibos forests that turn into dessertic areas and ecuadorian costal jungles.
In the winter time it get´s much greener and it is possible to see the farmers working in the broccoli, basil, plantain and coffee fields as you ride along.
Once in puerto lopez, it is possible to rent a private boat and enjoy a life changing experience on a whale watching adventure that is simply undescriptible. This overwhealming experience of seing them dance, travel and give birth is only possible in this region since it is the natural nursery to over 4000 backhumped whales, a number given in 2018 by national geographic scientists.
