If you’re looking for an excellent little side trip during your stay at Montañita, you’ll love the tiny little paradise over at Dos Mangas. Just a few kilometres away from Montañita—within walking distance, or you can hitch a ride on a truck—you’ll be able to use Dos Mangas as the base for horseback rides and hiking strolls into the Cordillera Chongon de Colonche. You’ll also want to pick up a unique Tagua carving, a Spanish-speaking guide and some lunch at a local house—no restaurants or hotels here—before heading out on your daily nature adventures.
