Dom’s Guide to Crucita, Ecuador

Where to stay in Crucita?

-For a clean, safe, Spartan, budget option right on the boardwalk I recommend the Marlin Hostal, $15 per person.

Where to eat in Crucita?

-If seafood is your thing, look no further than Las Gaviotas Restaurant right at the far end of the boardwalk near the mountain in Crucita. Most dishes are under $5.  Try the Shrimp with veggies (Camaron con vegetales, $5)

What to do in Crucita?

-Hand gliding, the top draw in Crucita and a must try when in the area, tandem flights are available for beginners.

-Visit one of the largest fish markets on the coast, walk through it, hold your nose, be amazed, on the far end of the boardwalk opposite from the mountain.
