The Machalilla National Park is a protected area along the Ecuadorian coast in the Manabi province. It is located South of the Mirador San Jose near Puerto Lopez and the small parish Machalilla. The Machalilla National Park has many beaches, forests and islands.
The community of San Sebastien is located within the Machalilla National Park and is home to a wide array of wild-life including trees, birds, insects, monkeys and toucans. This activity generally takes a full day and will allow you to visit the San Sebastien community ride on a horseback through the thick forests and witness all of what the forest has to offer. The tour also includes some intervals of walking. Some rubber boots are included and lunch will also be provided. We recommend you bring water, a shirt with long sleeves, a water bottle and some insect repellent.
Departures are generally done from Puerto Lopez around 9 am and you will be returning in the afternoon around 15:30 pm.
Machalilla Tours is one of the operators offering this type of excursion.
