Vistamar Guest House likes to tailor each experience to the speed and desires of each of our guests. If you want to focus your trip on surfing, yoga or adventures or a balance of both will be up to you. The balanced approach looks something like this:
Start the day with a light hike through one of our several wilderness areas that surround Ayampe followed by a delicious breakfast. Then an up tempo yoga practice followed by leisure time/time to explore the pueblo of Ayampe till lunch. For the afternoon; a siesta followed by a yin yoga practice or a surf class, free surf, bike ride, hike, scramble, swim, cooking class or simply relaxing in the hammock. Then top off the evening (with a cocktail) relaxing on the third floor deck watching the sun set over the islands. On any given day, we are also happy to make a full day, or half day excursion happen for you such as a boat trip to the Isla de la Plata, a horseback adventure through the peaks of the mountains in Rio Blanca, fishing, snorkeling, diving, coffee tasting experience, exploring hidden coves, check out an archeological site and springs, take bike rides, and much more.
Vistamar Guest House wants this to be your trip, so in the end this itinerary is just a suggestion. You could have double surf lessons every day, or no surfing at all, or anything in between!
As mentioned above, Vistamar Guest House likes to be flexible and let weather and natural conditions ultimately predict what activities are best suited day to day.

It is Vistamar Guest House intention that when you leave at the very least you can say that the food was awesome! They strive to use the finest local ingredients, make everything from scratch, choose organic whenever possible, source delicious local coffee, use Ecuadorian cacao use fresh coconut cream and milk instead of dairy products, all combined with fine culinary skill and presentation.
You can expect three meals a day, fresh fruit and snacks on tap, and a chef who is ready to whip you up something to eat in between meals.

On a normal basis, you may expect a vegetarian breakfast, and either a pescatarian lunch and veggie dinner, or a veggie dinner and a pescatarian lunch, or pescatarian lunch and dinner.
