After a few days in Quito we took a night bus to Puerto López, a little fishing village in the area of the machalilla national park. It is well known for it’s humpback whale watching possibilities during their annual migration to warmer waters. At the beach we met Colon, a fisher who took us out on his boat for a turn around the coast. We fished and ate that fish raw at the boat in a dish called “Cevice”. Although I don’t like the taste of fish this was really delicious.
