Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to get to Cabañas Mar y Paz from Guayaquil, and what should we pack for the journey?

We usually fly into Guayaquil and then take a comfortable bus for about three hours to the town of Machala. From there, a short taxi ride gets you to the docks for the boat transfer to the lodge. Pack light, breathable clothing, good walking shoes, insect repellent, and definitely a waterproof jacket – the coastal weather can be unpredictable.

We're keen birdwatchers. What kind of avian life can we expect to see around Cabañas Mar y Paz, and are there specific times that are better for sightings?

This area is a birder's paradise. We've spotted magnificent frigatebirds soaring overhead, blue footed boobies, and a dazzling array of shorebirds along the coast. Early mornings and late afternoons are magical for bird activity, especially when the tide is right for foraging. The lodge staff can often point you to the best local spots.

Beyond the wildlife, what are the must-do activities near Cabañas Mar y Paz, and how do we arrange them?

We absolutely love exploring the Refugio de Vida Silvestre Isla Corazón e Isla Fragata by boat. Kayaking through the mangroves is an unforgettable experience, offering intimate views of the ecosystem. The lodge can easily arrange these excursions for you, often with knowledgeable local guides who share fascinating insights.

What's the general vibe at Cabañas Mar y Paz, and what kind of amenities should we anticipate?

Cabañas Mar y Paz offers a wonderfully relaxed and authentic coastal experience. The cabins are simple yet comfortable, with stunning ocean views and the gentle sound of waves lulling you to sleep. Expect delicious, fresh seafood meals and a warm, welcoming atmosphere from the family who runs the place. It feels less like a hotel and more like visiting friends.

We're planning a trip in the shoulder season. Is Cabañas Mar y Paz still a good option then, and what should we be aware of regarding weather and crowds?

We find the shoulder seasons can be fantastic for a more tranquil visit. While there might be occasional rain showers, they usually pass quickly, and the landscapes are lush. You'll likely encounter fewer visitors, allowing for a more personal connection with the nature and the lodge. Just be prepared for humidity and pack accordingly.
