Homes and Land for Sale in Puerto López

Located on the central coast of Ecuador is Puerto López, a fishing village hugging a long crescent of creamy sanded bay in Manabí Province. One of the coastal communities along the famous Ruta Del Sol scenic highway, Puerto López offers a rustic, small-town atmosphere with numerous recreational opportunities. In recent years, the town has gradually turned into a favored vacation destination and potential retirement place, attracting plenty of international tourists and expats who prefer the quiet, laidback ambience that Puerto López provides.

Aside from fishing, ecotourism is another of Puerto López’s major draws, with the town’s beautiful natural setting acting as a focal point for nature enthusiasts and environmentalists. The town is just on the outskirts of the Parque Nacional Machalilla forest preserve, with its lush vegetation, white beaches, unique wildlife, and archaeological sites. To the north is Los Frailes Beach Park, an enclosed beach area with a nature trail and three individual beaches, while a little bit off to the northwest part of the Pacific Ocean lies Isla de la Plata, often called the “Poor Man’s Galapagos.” Home to many species of sea birds, it’s surrounded by coral reefs and the waters around it offer rare sightings of whales, dolphins, turtles, and even manta rays.
