Mompiche is a small beach town in the Coastal Lowlands of Ecuador.

Understand[edit]

Mompiche is a sleepy fishing town located along the Pacific Ocean, in the northwestern part of Ecuador in the province of Esmeraldas. The town lies to the south of a large bay, which includes San Francisco at the northern end, Muisne and La Mancha in the center, and Mompiche in the south.

Once a "hidden gem" in Ecudador, Mompiche has been discovered by tourists and the number of hotels and restaurants in the town is increasing. However, it still maintains its tranquil vibe and is a great place to simply chill out.
