Isla de la Plata is an island 40 km off the Ecuadorian coast. It's also called Galapagos for the poor, because it offers a Galapagos feel without the pricetag. It's nothing poor in terms of flora and fauna though! #ecuador #green #island #wildlife #holidays

Choose from the fresh catch of the day every day at the fish market on the beach of Puerto Lopez. The fishermen are up and out on the water before dawn, but most have sold all their catch before lunchtime. #market
