Puerto Hondo is a small community a couple of km away from Cerro Blanco continuing the road to the Coast. From the Ecological Club of puerto Hondo, you can rent a kayak to visit the mangrove forest. Puerto Hondo has also a locally well know pool, with aquatic attractions for kids and a traditional restaurant.
From Guayaquil take a bus to Chongon in the corner of 10th of August and Garcia Moreno streets in the center of the city.
