Estero de Plátano is a beautiful beach-front village situated on the Pacific Coast of Ecuador. It is home to a friendly community and has many activities to offer, from exploring the nearby rainforest to learning about local customs and culture. There are also opportunities to volunteer in numerous projects developed by Yanapuma Foundation, such as sponsoring children to study at secondary level, developing crafts production, helping develop ecotourism in the area, and running waste management and recycling initiatives. Aside from that, visitors can learn Spanish, take part in service learning programs, or even put their skills to use with research and internship opportunities. Estero de Plátano is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered!
