Description

Ayampe is a coastal town with a population size of approximately 400. While originally economically relying on the fishery, the last 2 decades evolved the town into a touristic hotspot.[3] Although the area around Ayampe is not a protected area, it does provide a valuable area for the study around Ecuadorian coastal biodiversity due to its connectivity with the Machalilla National Park.[4] Ayampe is part of the Ecuadorian Ruta del Sol.
