Everybody goes searching for that perfect vacation, no matter what paradise they fly off to. If you're the sort that loves to experience the earth and feel a little abandoned, you should spend a couple of days at Ayampe. Just 17 kilometres south of Puerto López, Ayampe is situated on the Río Ayampe and is perfect for rustling up some freshwater shrimp or melon at meals. You'll have access to horseback riding and hiking through the wooded hills, surfing, swimming, sunbathing and napping too, in this beach paradise. There are great accommodations and seafood restaurants all over town.
