Description

Begin your adventure with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Guayaquil. Just minutes away from the bustling city, discover the Cerro Blanco Protected Forest, one of Ecuador’s most important tropical dry forests and a sanctuary for biodiversity. Accompanied by a specialized local guide, embark on a scenic walk along well-marked ecological trails surrounded by towering ceibo trees, fragrant guayacán blossoms, and native flora adapted to the dry tropical ecosystem. As you venture deeper into the forest, listen to the songs of exotic birds, the rustle of leaves, and the calls of wildlife that inhabit this peaceful refuge. Cerro Blanco is home to more than 200 species of birds, including toucans, parakeets, and the emblematic Guayaquil macaw, one of the rarest and most colorful species in Ecuador. With a bit of luck, you might also spot howler monkeys, deer, armadillos, and other unique animals that make this ecosystem their home. Beyond its natural beauty, this forest represents a vital conservation effort — a green lung that protects Guayaquil’s environment and offers an educational glimpse into Ecuador’s rich ecological diversity. Enjoy a guided experience that connects you with nature, away from the urban rhythm, while learning about the importance of preserving the tropical dry forest, one of the most endangered habitats on Earth.
