We did a 5 hour hike at the forest and it was wonderful. It was January so it was getting really hot and really humid and it was exhausting but it was awesome: so much nature, so much beauty and witnessing the change of weather between the dry and wet forest was really cool!

It took long to go inside. You have to get out of the car and register. (Annoying) The beach is clean and quiet. When you go to the showers, the staff doesn't allow you to go to your car and get something, they will charge you twice if you try to go there again. Overall this beach is a great place to go if you hate crowded places.

A incredible 5000 years also town in the hard of the National Park. Beautiful beaches and very good food. The La Plata island is very similar to Galapagos. And animal rescue center at Villa Machalilla guest hous. Machalilla town the real deal, fisherman's town, beautiful!

What a beautiful beach. It's worth the 40 minute walk. You show your passport at the entrance to the national park, and you can walk in or take a taxi (But they rip you off. Don't pay more than 1.50 one way.) When you walk there, you can spend the day at the beach until they kick you out at sunset. To use showers or bathrooms you have to pay. You can take a tuktuk back to the entrance. You can also hike back out. Great day trip to the beach.

IT is a great opportunity to see some of the sea life and sea birds also known at the Galapagos , the best time to visit the Island is between February until May , however you can visit it at any time (off season rains and views might not be the as nice as this picture ) Take the longer hike then you will se much more... there are many tour operators in Puerto Lopez that you can contact and arrange this tour. There is no way to visit without an organized tour!!! ENJOY

Amazing place, if you are lucky you can see snakes or deer on the path to the Los Frailes beach

The place is outstanding! The prettiest beach I ever been to so far. The water is perfect, not many people so it's not crowded, however it might vary upon season you visit. There's some animals to see by the rocky beach that are unique. Even tho, the beaches are kept as clean as possible. There needs more control on the people who enters into this place since; some of them still leave trash on this so called Protected Reserve. Also, some people went to hunt for some crabs. And nobody were looking over. So it needs some control on some points for it to be perfect. Still a gorgeous place to visit.
