At the indicated time, we'll meet at the dock of Puerto Lopez, where we'll board a boat. After sailing for about 2 hours, we'll arrive at Isla de la Plata, located in the Machalilla National Park.

This protected area is one of the most extensive along the country's coastline and consists of two sections: one terrestrial and one marine. This area hosts the only coral reefs in Ecuador.

Throughout the trip, a local guide will provide explanations as we admire the landscape, including sea birds, rock formations, cliffs, and more. Upon arrival on land, we'll go for a stroll to observe the endemic fauna and flora of this island, also known as the Little Galapagos.

At the end of the walk, we'll have a picnic lunch that includes a sandwich, two seasonal fruits, mineral water, and soda. After lunch, we'll proceed to a spot ideal for snorkeling, where the crystalline waters allow for viewing various coral reefs and marine species.

We'll conclude the excursion by returning to the dock of Puerto Lopez, arriving 9 hours after setting sail.
