Summary: We had a private tour with our guide Juan. Our tour started in the Pacoche forest. The park guide was amazing. Juan was an expert translator. His knowledge of this area was excellent. After this we drove up to Montecristi and were treated to a one on one Panama hat making demo at a family owned store. This was a wonderful experience. We the asked our guide Juan to take us somewhere cool for lunch. We ended up on a surf beach south of Manta and had a truly epic lunch. Really great view. And as if this was not enough we ended our day in family owned chocolate factory. Yummy.
