Placed in the Peninsula of Santa Elena, "Costa Azul del Ecuador" is 150 kilometers far from Guayaquil. This is the name with which we know Salinas, one of the most famous and sophisticated seaside resorts of this beautiful country. Its mild, calm and clear water; its white sand surrounded by a natural landscape with exuberant flora and fauna are some of the characteristics of this true paradise.

There is an immense variety of qualities in beaches, hotels and different activities in its 15 kilometers of length. It is the most important touristic center in Ecuador. Visitors from all over the world arrive in it and it's one of the favourite destinations for international cruises such as the Queen Mary 2. We can practice all kind of aquatic sports, go to modern night clubs o rest in the open air, far from the strong movement of the city.

Among the typical dishes, we must emphasize the green little tortillas and the delicious cheeses made in the country houses of rural Salinas, which you can visit and where you can have a ride.

This tourist treasure on the Pacific shore gives us one of the most fascinating natural shows: the dance of the hunch back whales a few kilometers far from the coast,and tame sea wolves moving gently in the water. Besides, we have can dive and swim under water in the small island "Del Pelado".
