Don't forget - part of the hype of Los Frailes is the fact that being protected, there are no homes or stores (other than the visitor center) and no malecón. The beach head is totally natural. This is what truly makes it special, and makes it the cleanest beach in Ecuador. The hiking trails are awesome too, but I think they were closed when you visited. If you find yourself in the neighborhood again, give me a shout. I live in the village of Machalilla, 12 Km north of Puerto Lopez and short distance from Los Frailes and Agua Blanca. Keep up the good work!
You two are making great videos...kudos! The drone footage and other videography is much appreciated. AND thanks for not being annoying like so many others!
It was a really awesome! You definitely need to come back to Ecuador one day... the longer we’re here, the more we realize there is to see! Thanks for watching :)
Great videos. Los frailes is beautiful on a clear day. However you definitely can roast when it's clear.. My favorite beach so far that can be reached by public transport (plane to the galapagos Islands, speed boat )is to Isabela Island. You can hang out there at a hostel that fits whatever budget. In May the water is warm, but in october it's freezing.. Enjoy 🇪🇨.
It is the best beach (apart from Galapagos) in better weather, but getting in the ocean and walking around is awesome anytime. And Agua blanca, you guys missed the mud massage. Its just 10 USD each and you become all black and relax and your skin afterwards gets pretty nice. Hopefully you get back and experience all of it. Btw, great choice, Ecuador is just awesome and all of us welcome you with open arms
It was SO great to meet you guys. Such an awesome surprise to meet people who actually watch our videos 😂 Hope to run into you guys again while we're here!
Another great video. You guys are very good with that drone. Beautiful shots. We are starting to plan our 2nd exploratory trip to Olon- Ayampe area for January. Can't wait for your next video.
Thanks Clay! It was actually kind of chilly while we were there, and the waves were pretty menacing haha perhaps if we went at another time of year! Thanks for watching :)
@@EricandSarah I always do my dear. I am here in B.C. wishing to be there enjoying the warm ocean 🌊 Next time tell people tha it must be cloudy but, the sea water is waaaarm 😂 Good luck always!
Funniest video yet! You guys in that sulphur pool going off about eggs was too comical 😂. Also Eric, every time I see you brought your Dutch hardbar hoody, that alone cracks me up. Love it so much you had to take it to Ecuador, eh?
Hahaha glad you think so cause Sarah could not stop laughing while editing the last part. It’s impossible to watch it and not laugh. Haha. And Dutch hardbar is bigger than all of us. The sooner the world knows it the better ✊
I would agree! We actually passed through Manta during the weekend lockdowns, so we had to keep moving along. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great when we were in the area either. Another time perhaps! 🙂 thanks for watching!
Los Frailes has always had that early closing time, unfortunately you need to get there pretty early to enjoy the most of it. You did miss the better beach there though. If you followed that beach to the observation deck there is a path that leads to a cove with black sand. The water there barely moves and it’s so great to swim in. I think that ones the best beach there.
Hello Erick and Sarah ! Some places are overcast, but can you tell people how warm or cold is the sea water? I enjoy so much watching your videos. 💚💙💚💙💚 Keep going !
The water depends on the place! If swimming in a bay, it's much warmer but the open ocean beaches tend to be a bit colder. We find all of it all quite warm though because we're used to Canadian ocean water haha!
Are u kidding me? Los Frailes is the most beautiful place I’ve seen, also is a National Reserve, FYI, Machalilla is the 2nd oldest culture in Ecuador dated from 5000 years ago , first one is Valdivia almost 10.000 years, is not just abt the beach is abt a wonderful history nice video anyways.
Hey eric and sara are you looking for an editor or colorist? i can help you alot with colors in your video, im a student and i charge as low as a cup of coffee ;) hope i get a reply from you!
Hi Anuj, my husband Kenny and I are talking about getting some help. We have so much content and not enough time to edit. Please send me a message on Instagram @gladysandkenny. Thank you.
We appreciate the feedback! Unfortunately our style is including music in our videos and showing people what things there are to do in Ecuador (which includes some touristy places). So your type of video might not match our style of video.
@@EricandSarah I appreciate your reply. However, I'm looking to see real-life in Ecuador. There are tons of videos that show the usual tourist hot spots in other countries. I like viewing real-life natives and their surroundings. Having said that, I wish you success in your courageous ventures.
@10:22 Solid edit to the beat of the stick bug.🤘

Thanks for watching! This week's will have a bit of that, but we will try to include more - seems like more people like that sort of stuff haha
Seen everyone of your videos.Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you!! That means a lot that you watched every one ☺️
Of course, I enjoy all your videos of Ecuador. It is the next best thing to being there in person!
You’re always so kind ☺️

It was so great to run into you guys on the street today! We really enjoy your videos - keep 'em coming!
It was SO great to meet you guys. Such an awesome surprise to meet people who actually watch our videos 😂 Hope to run into you guys again while we're here!
That is so cool when a viewer notices a RUclipsr. When it first happened to us we were excited and felt like celebrities. LOL
Another great video. You guys are very good with that drone. Beautiful shots. We are starting to plan our 2nd exploratory trip to Olon- Ayampe area for January. Can't wait for your next video.
Thank you! We have way too much fun flying that thing haha - thanks for following along :)
That beach looks incredible! Anyone brave enough to go in the ocean?
Thanks Clay! It was actually kind of chilly while we were there, and the waves were pretty menacing haha perhaps if we went at another time of year! Thanks for watching :)
The beach was gorgeous!!!! Sulfur pool? Think I’ll stay on the beach😉
I know right?? And yeah, the sulfur pool is awesome, but not for everyone! Thanks for watching 🙂
I love it !!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!! And thanks for watching :)

Good luck always!
I wanna Visit! omg! and not even mention Manta, i like flying kites, was that mantis really dancing to the music
Thank You Jesus and Mary !
Rory, we spent almost two months in Ecuador and we loved you. I am pretty sure you would too.
Hello...Nice video
Hi... thanks!
🇪🇨👍😊
Hey guys thanks for visiting my country, and thanks for video. By the way I’m subscribed. God bless you
Thanks for watching Robert! Glad you enjoyed the video! :)

Welcom to EC. 🇪🇨
Definitely one of the most underrated places to visit. Why did you skip manta and Santa Marianita ? You missed all the sun.
I would agree!

Very cool! We did hear there’s some other amazing secret beaches along there :)

@@EricandSarah I used to swim in Porteau Cove, now that I’m older is too cold for me 😂
Keep enjoying my home land.
Take care my dear.
Hi! Amazing video as always! Could you share the name of the place you stayed at the begining of the video?
My brother took me here, it was interesting.
The museum was so interesting!
You guys! Ecuador vs Mexico? Specifically the Loja, Vilcabamba area :) Where do you feel more safe?
“I just choked on the egg water.” 😂😂😂
Hahahaha it was not pleasant 😂
It’s a sulphur pool for health but smell like egg
Could u go to the view point ( mirador las fragatas) at Frailes?
Hahahaha yessss
Hope we captured enough of all of us freaking out at the pools hahah

Very beautiful place indeed, we just went when the weather wasn’t super nice. Thanks for watching
i cant believe you didnt notice the smell until you were in the water lol
Haha oh we noticed it! It was just very evident once we were in there lol thanks for watching!!
What’s the name of the place where u stayed?
It’s in the description! :)
Why is the Swiss flag there?
Good eye! The property is owned by a couple - Ecuadorian and Swiss
Hey eric and sara are you looking for an editor or colorist? i can help you alot with colors in your video, im a student and i charge as low as a cup of coffee ;) hope i get a reply from you!

The music is too loud. My preference is more real-life takes - street-life; less touristy clips. And, please, less music.
