Our bus to this lay back location, journeyed through dryer landscape. When we arrived at the coastal town, a flotilla of fishing boats bobbed off shore.

My daughter was disappointed that the resort just out of town was fully booked. We had to stay in town but the bonus was all the conveniences were at our fingertips. Puerto Lopez had an abundant of restaurants, stalls selling everything Ecuadorian and places to stay. We wandered sandy streets and soaked up the sea air.
