Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see near Inti Wasi, and when is the best time to visit for sightings?

While Inti Wasi isn't deep in the bush, its proximity to Reserva Marina Galera San Francisco means we've spotted incredible marine life. Think humpback whales breaching offshore during their migration season from June to October, and playful sea lions year round. For land based creatures, expect to see various bird species, and perhaps some smaller mammals on guided walks.

We're looking for a comfortable, authentic experience. What's the vibe at Inti Wasi, and what amenities does it offer?

Inti Wasi feels like a welcoming home away from home, not a sprawling resort. We love the intimate setting and the genuine warmth of the hosts. Expect comfortable, clean rooms with local touches, and delicious home cooked meals featuring fresh Ecuadorian ingredients. It’s a place to truly unwind and connect with the natural surroundings.

What are the typical costs associated with a stay at Inti Wasi, and are there any packages we should consider?

While prices can fluctuate, we found Inti Wasi to be excellent value for money, especially considering its prime location. We recommend inquiring directly about their all inclusive packages which often bundle accommodation, meals, and guided excursions to the reserve. This usually offers the best bang for your buck and simplifies planning.

Is Inti Wasi a safe base for exploring the Galera San Francisco area, and what should we be aware of regarding safety?

We felt perfectly safe during our stay at Inti Wasi. The guesthouse is in a tranquil area, and the staff are attentive and knowledgeable about the region. As with any coastal area, be mindful of the tides when exploring the beaches and always follow your guide's advice during any excursions into the reserve.

Beyond the marine reserve, what other activities can we arrange from Inti Wasi?

While the marine reserve is the star attraction, we found plenty to keep us occupied. We recommend arranging guided nature walks through the surrounding coastal forests, which offer a different perspective on the local flora and fauna. You can also enjoy relaxing on the nearby beaches or simply soaking in the peaceful atmosphere at the guesthouse itself.
