Discover the Enchanting Isla de La Plata: A Nature Lover’s Paradise
Embark on a fascinating day tour to the mesmerizing Isla de La Plata, fondly referred to as the “Poorman’s Galapagos.” Nestled within the pristine Machalilla National Park, this breathtaking island promises unforgettable encounters with nature.
We'll arrange for your transportation from Manta to Puerto Lopez via the picturesque "Spondylus Route". From there, you'll take a boat to the Island and have the opportunity to witness the humpback whales during their mating season from June to October. Upon arrival at the Island, a knowledgeable birdwatching expert will take you along the paths and provide you with a detailed guide of all the species that inhabit the area. Finally, you'll have ample time to snorkel in the crystal clear waters and uncover the vibrant marine life.
