Ayampe is a small coastal town located in the canton of Puerto Lopez, in Manabí province, approximately 301 km away from Quito, Ecuador. 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. 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. Ayampe is part of the Ecuadorian Ruta del Sol. References
