Puerto Lopez is a small town (4-5 streets) on the coast of Ecuador, along the Ruta del Sol. I was staying in Ayampe, and even smaller town with just one street, about 30 minutes south. Puerto Lopez was the place I could come for more restaurant options, internet (price-hiked because of its scarcity on the coast) and tours to nearby islands. For its small size, it was a fairly bustling place.
I took a really pleasant day trip around Isla Salanga, including stops on various secluded beaches and tons of food along the way. At Puerto Lopez, rather than board from a dock, we simply waded into the water and squishily made our way onto the boat.
