Manta Ecuador

With a history dating back to the pre-Columbian era, the beautiful coastal city of Manta is home to one of Ecuador’s largest seaports. Manta is located within Manabi Province on the central coast of Ecuador and derives most of its wealth from tourism and tuna fishing. Ecuadorians have consistently chosen Manta as one of the most popular beach locations in the country.

As one of Ecuador’s economic and industrial centers, Manta is highly accessible as it has its own airport. Eloy Alfaro International Airport is said to be the fourth busiest airport in Ecuador, and offers daily flights to Quito, the capital city.

Things to Do

Hanging out at the beach and enjoying its natural beauty aren’t the only thingsyou can do along Manta’s coast. There are plenty of restaurants along the beach that offer al fresco dining options featuring the freshest catch from Manta’s bountiful waters. Playa Murcielago is the most popular beach in Manta, and attracts locals and tourists to its shores every day. You can surf or scuba dive, depending on your preference. Another way to view Manta’s stunning coastline is by taking the scenic Ruta del Sol, which translates to “Sun Route.” Coasting through this beautiful road takes you to hidden beaches that guarantee you absolute privacy.Ruta del Sol snakes and ends in the resort community of Salinas, but before reaching Salinas, you’ll also get to pass by sleepy, little fishing villages along the way.

Nature lovers can also explore more of Manta’s inland charms in Parque Manchalilla, home of exotic flora and fauna, and some of the best hiking trails in Manabi Province.
