Definitely
this is not a tourist town but it is an important trade center
for products such as cocoa, cotton, kapok and coffee around the

Montecristi
|
Montecristi
is an old colonial town located 30 kilometers west of Portoviejo,
founded in 1628 and the birthplace of the ex-President Eloy Alfaro.
The
town is very famous for its straw and basketware and especially
renowned for its high quality Panama hat production (See
Arts and Crafts).
There are many stores along the main road selling wooden barrels,
wickerwork and many others (very cheap). The village of Montecristi
has a main Plaza with a Virgin statue (La Virgen de Montecristi)
which is worth a visit. Frequent bus service is available to this
town from Manta's bus station. The ticket cost is around US$0.25,
and takes about 15 minutes.
If
you are interested on booking professional guided tours to Montecristi
and be able to have a closer look and purchase some of the country's
best straw
and basketware handcrafts,
you may do so through our online
Travel Agencies and Tour operators network reservation form.
