CANOA


What to do in Ecuador post Christmas? Having visited the jungle and the mountains, it was time to hit the beach.



Situated on the north coast of Ecuador, Canoa is a surfer's paradise and also home to local fishermen who brave the waves to keep the local restaurants stocked with fish.


We stayed in a hostal made entirely of bamboo and other exotic woods, with hammocks slung under palapas and tables cut from massive trees on which to place our cuba libres (rum and coke).



We chilled under canvas sunshades on the beach and then jumped in the warm water to get shaken up by the waves.

Sunsets were special!
