The Sun Route is Ecuador’s beautiful coast line in the Pacific Ocean. Here you can find more than 5 different ethnic groups and more than 60 beaches, most of them totally unpopulated.

The “Sun Route” extends for more than 900 km, from Esmeraldas province, site of the largest African-Ecuadorian community to Salinas, Ecuador’s largest resort city. Half way you will find the exciting Machalilla National Park, site of one of the most beautiful beaches in South America, Frayles Beach and La Plata Island, famous for its amazing diversity of bird species. Here every summer hundreds of Humpback Whales swim from the Antarctica to the warm waters of Ecuador to celebrate their yearly mating ritual. And don’t forget Montañita, the “Surfer’s City,” a very colorful town attracting people from all over the world.
