San Jacinto resort, an ideal place for those who are looking for quiet and restful holidays, is 35 kilometers far from Bahía de Caraquez. It is of great success for international investors who want to promote tourism in this resort, because of its excellent location and, above all toa mild blend of scents, savours and colours which make this small village of fishermen an ideal place for the pleasure of local and foreign tourists.
Its inhabitants are reputed as being very kind and friendly and those who enjoy nature, long walks in the evenings, ship tours and good food for the more exigent tastes, can have a really wonderful stay there. Sun, sand, warm sea water and especially the security of the visitor are the proud of the local people.
Besides an excellent hotel trade infrastructure, we have cottages and camping places where we can find all the comfort we need.
The supply of restaurants is plentiful as it is in every beach of Ecuador, and, as for night life, the most remarkable are the little fires on the beach where we can enjoy the performance of local musical groups.
It is essential to go to "Manglar La Boca", in the mouth of río Portoviejo. This matching of five kinds of mangrove swamps is a good natural refuge for agreatvarietyof indigenous and migratory birds.
We also recommend to visit the prehistoric ruins of Japotó, and go to "Punta Charapoto" where there is a dry thorny forest.
For those who like sports, surf and ski are the most remarkable activities.
The beach has an access by road from the city of San Vicente, where we can arrive from Quito by plane to the airport "Los Perales". The temperature vary from 25º to 31º during all the year round.
