Animal Encounter Days in Guayaquil

Astonishing Mangroves & Dry forest /Chocolate experience trip

Ecuador's BEST Guide

My husband and I booked a tour with Eddie of the Churute mangroves and Howler monkey forest. Eddie personalized the tour to fit our needs and schedule. We saw many different kinds of birds on our way to the reserve and at the Estuary. Eddie had eagle eyes for spotting birds and he brought his professional level camera to capture high quality photos of them for us. After an enjoyable canoe ride in the Estuary, we went to the forest to search for the howler monkeys. It was a very easy trail and it did not take long for us to find them. We saw some females with their babies and a bit further on we saw a male as well. The best thing about this tour is Eddie! We are fairly well traveled and Eddie was by far the most knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide we have EVER had. He told us so much about Guayaquil, the wildlife, plants, and answered all of our questions. He even filled us in on some of the information that we missed while we were in the Galapagos. If we ever make it back to Ecuador, we will definitely book with Eddie again! (Eddie captured the attached images for us!)

Horseback riding and Shuar community near Guayaquil private trip

Great experience away from the city!

Great experience! Our guide Noe, was very nice and picked us up from our hotel in Guayquil, then drove us to his town Bucay. We got to venture out from the city which was very nice. We met the horses at a ranch in Bucay and rode them through a very beautiful trail until we arrived at a local village. The village was very friendly and showed us their dance moves along with other traditions. We then rode the horses back and stopped for lunch and ice cream before heading back to Guayquil.
