An authentic destination
Este pueblito con playa de arena negra
se encuentra en la provincia de Esmeral-
das conocida por ser la provincia verde
y la cuna de la cultura afro-ecuatoriana.
Esta región tiene mucho que ofrecer.
Mompiche es el ejemplo. Es una combina-
ción de playa, surf y naturaleza en un am-
biente tranquila y relajada ideal para re-
cargarse. El nombre del pueblo puede ser
asociado a una cadena de resorts todo
incluido con uno de sus hoteles en reali-
dad implantado en otra playa cercana.
A pesar de la aparición de nuevos hote-
les, nuevas inversiones, el pueblo conser-
va un estilo típico y rustico con construc-
ciones con toques de bambú, madera y
techo de paja que les permite integrarse
en un paisaje hermoso, multicolor de una
playa todavía autentica rodeada de un
bosque húmedo

This intimate village known for its black
sand beaches is located in the province
of Esmeraldas also known as the green
province and the home of Afro-Ecua-
dorian culture, this region offers a relax-
ing atmosphere ideal to recharge and
enjoy everything from Mompiche, to its
unique combination of beach, surf and
nature. Esmeraldas’ name is often associ-
ated with a chain of all-inclusive resorts
with one being as close as a neighbor-
ing beach, but don’t let that fool you!
Despite the emergence of new hotels
and financial growth in this breathtaking
coastal village, they still manage to take
advantage of being perfectly nestled
between beautiful landscape, multicol-
ored beaches and rain forest, retaining
all the charm of Esmeraldas traditional
architecture known for its rustic style
buildings with touches of bamboo, wood
and thatch.
