Exploring Puerto Cayo


La Playita


Date: Jan 4, 2011
Location: Puerto Cayo, Ecuador

Tuesday day, another beautiful day in Puerto Cayo. No clouds in sight, it's another splendid day, sunny and perfect. A perfect day to continue our work.
As always the Environmental Education group taught English at the local school. While the rest of us were teaching the fishermen and the restaurant workers.

The kids are in chaos. Today the Environmental Education group performer a dance about compost, and the kids loved it so much, you can hear kids humming the lyrics everywhere you go. The Environmental Education group are celebrities among the children. Marketing group has to step up! Marketing group met briefly and a few of us photographed hotspots, while the rest of us focused on our online campaign (FB and wikipedia).

Meanwhile, another venture for the afternoon. A selected group decided to visit a hidden gem nearby. The name: La Playita, translated as The Beach. Not a very creative name, I must say, but the name says it all. This was THE beach, THE place to be. Hidden behind a perilous path:


After a long hike, the groups efforts paid off. They came up to a stunning view. A cove, hidden from the rest of the world, completely isolated. The only other people in sight were a few surfers, taking advantage of the perfect waves.

Playita has everything to offer. From isolation from the rest of the world, to beautiful water with perfect waves, and even caves and nature to explore. And exploring we did:


Playita, playita, one day I shall return.
