Details About Manta

Destinations » South America » South American Coast » Manta


Manta is a picturesque and important port on the Pacific Ocean, located in a dry tropical forest with an average annual temperature of 25 degrees Celsius (77 F). Because it has some of South America's most breathtaking beaches, Manta was selected as the site of the sixth South American Windsurfing Championship. It is reknown for its diving and sport fishing. It also serves as the primary industrial port of Ecuador's tuna industry.

Attractions

This port city affords the visitor unprecedented access to ancient Manta culture, including the small rafts once used by the Manta circa 500 - 1500 AD. A short jaunt from the port is the Bahia de Manta. There you'll find el Parque Nacional Machalilla with its cloud forests, archeological sites and colonies of nesting seabirds.

Currency

The U.S. dollar (USD) is the official currency. Traveler's checks and credit cards are also widely accepted.
