Overview

The reserve is a refuge for many species of fauna, some of them threatened, such as the canclón, a water bird that lives in the lagoon of the same name, and the crocodile of the coast, which has already disappeared in other areas of the coast. Due to the diversity and great extension of aquatic environments that the reserve protects, in the year 1990 it was declared a Ramsar site, an international recognition for wetlands of great importance.

    Reserva Ecologica Manglares Churute

    5 hours

    Pick up at 8:30 AM, near Guayaquil, and visit the Churute Mangroves Ecological Reserve. The mangroves are considered a Ramsar site, located in the Naranjal canton, Guayas province, 40 kilometers from the city of Guayaquil. It is one of the reserve's most important sites due to the number of freshwater birds that inhabit the site. In this mangrove, apart from being able to observe different types of birds, we can also encounter the howler monkeys that inhabit the area. To observe them, we will take a 40-minute walk through the tropical dry forest. We will also learn a little more about how local people capture the crabs and then bring them to market in the city. End of the service and return to the hotel.
