I think it's an up and coming surf town. I had planned to go to Ayangue but Ecuadorians have told me the food isn't good so I think I'm going to skip it on my next trip. What do you think?
The only way to establish the type of town the residents want is to establish ordiances to prevent the coming Montanita. I am surprised is was cooler there. There is one two in the very north of Ecuador, close to Panama, whose name escapes me--anyway, there, it is as humid as Olon. Thanks for the video.
That's a good point, I don't know about the geography. But a lot of Ecuador is warm during the day and cool at night. It was also quite windy, which you could see from the waves. Sadly the first sunny day was the morning we were leaving so I'm not sure I had a true experience of the weather.
Yes I shot extra videos so I could continue to post through December even though I'm in Canada for the holidays. You can expect more videos from the coast until I return/
Vivir simple sin discusiones por pequeñeses y reir mas que llorar. Conocer gente no tan complicada. Estar en la misma sintonia. No joder tanto porque la rudeza cansa las lecciones cansan y la mala educacion no atrae. Estar en paises (educados) que actuan como si no tuvieran educacion. Harta. Y estos paises enseñan tanto de como respetar y contestarle a los demas que es increible la diferencia.
En este viaje no tuve tiempo para Esmeraldas así que en enero estoy comenzando otro viaje costero comenzando en Esmeraldas. Si tiene alguna sugerencia, hágamelo saber, ya que se supone que Esmeraldas es una de las mejores.
@@ayngelina de lugares turísticos te recomiendo a que vayas a los manglares son super bonitos, hay uno que queda entre manabi y esmeraldas por ese hotel decameron en mompiche ahí se va en lancha y se recorre todo eso y como se conecta al mar creo que eso se llama estuarios, super recomendado, está también esmeraldas, playa same, playa sua, la laguna de cube, playa tonsupa, playa Atacames, refugio de vida silvestre manglares estuario del río muisnes, playa san Francisco del cabo, bosque del chocó, de comidas están cevicangre, tapao arrecho, sopa marinera, caldo de bagre, arroz con camarón, arroz con concha, cangrejos encocaos, arroz marinero, ensumacao, pesundao, dulces de cocadas, rompemuelas, bebida como el champú y la mazamorra, 7 sabores de mar, 3 sin sacar, encocado de aserrín de toyo o raya, encocado de Guanta, muchines de yuca, etc
Interesting, these ones don't. The secret is to use boiled plantain and grated/shredded raw plantain. It has also has egg. but I'd be interesting to see how flour changes the consistency.
I think it's too late. Already happened. Still a very charming little Pueblo... Exaggerated prices for sure. You just have to resign yourself to it for a few daze... It's the Gringo effect....
Hola gorgeous cuando vengas a Ecuador, yo siempre voy a playa paraíso o playa rosada, son playas menos concurridas y la verdad que uno se relaja más que cuándo vas a las playas mas concurridas. Yo voy siempre en fechas que no sean feriados y disfruto mucho con mi familia. Cuando aterrices en guayaquil avisa y tienes aventón gratis por la ciudad
This town is already more crowded than it should be. Thanks to this kind of exposure and marketing the cost of living here has gone up dramatically. I've been coming here for 11 years now and don't really like seeing it turn into the mess that is costa rica these days. The surf is getting really crowded and now it is the most expensive place in Ecuador now. We don't need any more exposure like this.
Jared I can completely understand your frustration. For the record I loathe Costa Rica because everything is foreign owned and while I appreciate their dedication to the environment, the local culture is gone. But price increases aren't because of RU-vid videos. For the first time in 10 years when Lasso increased the price of gasoline and taxes, minimum wage (for a good reason) it meant prices increased everywhere in Ecuador...as it did everywhere in the world. I've been visiting Ecuador since 2010 and I think the increase in price along the coast is inevitable, especially for surf spots. The change in Canoa shocked me since I last visited in 2013 when it was a tiny village. And Ayampe is certainly not a hidden secret. It's part of the coastal trail most people visit. My only hope is that it is Ecuadorian businesses that benefit from this.
@@ayngelina fair enough. Travel writing is probably fun and I've considered it myself, so I get what you're doing it's just that this place has exploded over the last five years and it breaks my heart to see how fast it's being developed. It is a great place but it's having some serious growing pains the last few years. Safe travels 😉
@@jaredwinter5125 I totally get it. I've actually run my site since 2010 (it's my job, RU-vid is just a hobby) and have traveled non-stop so I see what happens. For me it's about does the growth help locals? And so I returned in 2021 because I wanted people to consider Ecuador when they started traveling again because small business and tourism was devastated. You should probably go back to Ayampe now because when I was there I think maybe 25% of businesses were open and I'm not sure what happened to the rest. That said, I really do hope it can avoid what happened to Montanita, I think because the beach isn't really for swimming it could remain that way.
