Overview

Hello, adventurers!
Trip to Churute We depart from Guayaquil towards a hidden treasure called Churute, an hour and a half away. Upon arrival, we will connect with the local community. Some of its members are dedicated to fishing for red crab, while others are engaged in agriculture.
Howler Monkey Trail Next, we will arrive at the howler monkey trail. This protected area of tropical dry forest is home to a diverse variety of exotic species of birds, reptiles, and mammals. Among them, we will frequently observe the presence of howler monkeys in their natural wild state.
Experience at a Cocoa Farm In the afternoon, we will continue our experience at a cocoa farm. We will learn the entire process of making organic chocolate, from the cocoa fruit to the various uses we will give it to taste several types of chocolate. We will prepare our own chocolate and enjoy a typical lunch prepared outdoors to taste typical Ecuadorian food.
