For Sale: CoCo Bongo - Popular Restaurant and Cafe In Bahia de Caraquez, Ecuador
Bahia de Caraquez, Ecuador: The Paradise Peninsula. It is located just 40 miles South of the equator on the estuary of the Rio Chone and 1 hour north of Manta(Which has newly built airport and rumors to have a Miami connection in the future). 'Bahia' as it is know to Ecuadorians is a tourist town that primarily caters to the middle and upper class of Quito and Guayaquil that have vacation condos here and does have a thriving expat community as well.
Things to do: Tour the city on foot in an hour or take one of the tricycle taxis (Bahia became an Ecocity on February 23, 1999) that are a nice alternative to cars. Things to do include going to the local beaches that slope gently into the water, safe for children and the elderly in most conditions with usually only small waves, or beaches with flat water on the bay side of the malecon. Go water skiing in the bay side, sail boarding in gentle steady wind, and of course fishing! 15 miles up the coast in the rustic surfer-town of Canoa there are hang-gliding and surfing lessons available. At times here in Bahia the waves are perfect for long boarding, low and slow!
