Golden light falling on the cliffs near the beach town of Montanita, Ecuador
Golden light falling on the cliffs near the beach town of Montanita, Ecuador
The streets of Montanita. You can find all kinds of knick knacks here, even a hat made from coconut husks! There are also vendors selling all kinds of juices made from fresh fruit like guava, passionfruit, and mangoes. Over on the beach, there are places you can either take a surf lesson, or rent a surfboard and give yourself lessons for less than $10/hour! #market

Making ceviche in the streets of Montanita. A whole lot of things went into this to make it taste wonderful! #market

I hated the muddy unpaved road coming in. With all those hotels they surely could get together and do something.
