There is a lot of fishing done on the waters in front of the house. Various types of fish and large shrimp are routinely caught by the local fishermen in their canoes. It is possible to purchase fish from them by simply waving them over. Fish is also readily available at the market in town. We have a person who delivers fresh fish and shrimp to our house once a week. Of course, if you prefer not to cook, there is a very good
restaurant just down the road.

The house is within easy walking distance of San Vicente. The middle of town is about 20 minutes away walking or you can catch a moto, which is a rickshaw type vehicle built around a mototrcycle which costs 50 cents to town.Bahia de Caraquez is located across the bridge which crosses the estuary and can be reached by taxi. The ride is usually $2.00 one way and takes about 10 minutes.

The house is located on the beach side of the road to Canoa, which is a resort and surfing town 15 minutes away. The bus, which you can catch at our gate, comes by every 30 minutes and costs .50 cents. Canoa has a beautiful beach and rentals of surfboards are available. Beach umbrellas and chairs can be rented also.

There is basic shopping available in San Vicente and a bit more extensive shopping in Bahia. There are shopping centers, movie theaters and many more restaurants in Manta and Porto Viejo. Both are large cities, appx 300,000 and are about 1 hr 20 min away by taxi. The usual charge for a round trip taxi to either is about $40.00. Guayaquil, the largest city in Ecuador, is about 5 hours away by car. Air-conditioned buses run between here and Guayaquil several times a day. The cost is around $8.00 to $10.00 dollars depending on the bus line.

There is a 24 hour emergency clinic in San Vicente as well as a minor surgery center. There is a hospital in Bahia de Caraquez. In addition, Porto Viejo has several larger hospitals as well as Solca, a very good cancer treatment center.
