The Northern Coast - Esmeraldas
The northern Ecuadorian coast in the province of Esmeraldas is arguably one of the most beautiful and most threatened places in Ecuador.
Wild jungles stick their roots into titanium sand that glitters in the sunlight while whales greet small boats emerging from the mangrove labyrinths.
Due to the Humboldt current, Ecuador has lush tropical forest on the western side that abruptly stops at the ocean’s edge. This mega diverse area has been understudied and is relatively unknown in comparison to the Amazon and the Cloud Forest.
