Hi my name is Gustavo, dad of three and husband to my beautiful wife. I have been in the tour guiding world for more than 15 years, showing tourists the highlights of Manta city and the Manabi province. I specialize in local tours to off-the-grid places and shore excursions for cruise ships. My passion is traveling and discovering unique places, which has led me to encounter beautiful towns, communities, landscapes, foods, flavors, and cultural experiences. My ultimate goal as a tour guide is to provide you with an unparalleled local experience. I strive to showcase the best that the region has to offer, and to give you a more personal look at the local culture. I aim to be the best local tour guide you've ever had during your cruise ship tour and provide you with an experience you will never forget. Sincerely, Gustavo Local Tour Guide 15 years experience in guiding tours in the Manabi province in Ecuador -My car can fit up to 3-4 people comfortably. Please inquire for larger groups.

From forest to beach in no time!
Overview of your Manta tour
Pacoche Forest is a must-see destination while in Manta. It's a National Reserve that serves as the transition between the dry and semi-humid forests, and is home to a diverse range of regional flora and fauna. Local national naturists will guide us through this natural wonder and introduce us to its unique features. As we enter the Pacoche trail, you will feel the energy of the forest and be struck by the contrast between the lush greenery and the dryness of Manta. The trail offers a 1. 5-hour walk (or a shorter 45-minute option), making it a rewarding experience for anyone interested in nature, seeking inspiration, or simply looking for an exciting outing. Then, at uncrowded San Lorenzo beach, you will love the beach walk and sightseeing from the lighthouse, from where Silver Island is in plain sight. Finally, we will visit Santa Marianita, where the beach and ocean views from the hilltop are unparalleled. My mission is to make your stop in Manta, one of the most memorable in your cruise ship tour!
