When to visit

The best time to visit Puerto Lopez is during the dry season which runs from June to September. During this time, you can enjoy sunny days with clear skies perfect for beach activities and exploring the national park. The wet season from December to May brings heavy rainfall and rough seas, making it less ideal for outdoor activities.

Getting around

Puerto Lopez is a small town that can easily be explored on foot. Taxis and moto-taxis are also available for short distances. If you want to visit nearby attractions or beaches, you can rent a bicycle or hire a local guide with a vehicle. Public buses are another option for traveling to neighboring towns.

Traveller tips

Make sure to pack sunscreen and insect repellent as you will be spending a lot of time outdoors. Try to learn some basic Spanish phrases as English may not be widely spoken. Be respectful of the local culture and customs, especially when visiting indigenous communities. Keep an eye on your belongings in crowded areas to avoid pickpocketing incidents. Don't forget to try the ceviche, a popular seafood dish in Puerto Lopez.
