It is also worth mentioning that the local gastronomy is among the best of Ecuador, and that there are a few dishes that you should not miss like Spondylus ceviche. The area is also home of the REAL panama huts that our former president Eloy Alfaro brought to Panama like a century ago and that because they are so light are an accessory that the most elegant people wear.
