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.

Itinerary
The guide will pick up you in the lobby of the hotel ( Hotel pick up inside the Urban perimeter of Guayaquil) Pick up at 8:30 AM, near Guayaquil, we will visit the Manglares Churute Ecological Reserve. The mangroves are considered a Ramsar site of importance, located in the Naranjal canton, Guayas province, 40 kilometers from the city of Guayaquil. It is one of the most important sites in the reserve 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 will also be able to 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. After visiting Manglares Churute, we will head to a cacao plantation where we will learn everything about cacao, from its cultivation to the process of making a chocolate bar. At the end of the tour, each of us will make our own chocolate bar. Ending of our service and come back to Guayaquil
