ANALYSIS OF THE “SALINAS 2006” SEASON
|
|
The “Salinas 2006” Season began this year
with almost 200.000 tourists which came to this, the
most important “Tourist Seaside Resort of Ecuador”. The
first activity that inaugurated the season was the
traditional contest of “Año Viejos” which is held on the
boardwalk; año viejos are real size paper or rag dolls,
which represent famous people, such as politicians,
sportsmen, TV celebrities, etc, and at midnight these
dolls are burned to represent that all stays in the past
and that the new year will bring better days.
|
From the early
morning people walk to the picturesque boardwalk of
Salinas, for it offers an enchanting view, of which the
sea and the sun are main characters. The warm coastal
climate, the beaches, the aquatic sports, family
strolls, and night entertainment, were the center of
attraction for the hundreds of visitors, who during
Carnival festivities and Easter didn’t miss the
opportunity of spending some amusing time in this
beautiful city, which counts with first class hotels,
utilities and a variety in the gastronomy field.
|
Mother Nature has blessed the waters of
the Ecuadorian Pacific and because of this we can enjoy
one of the most beautiful spectacles of the coastal
waters of Salinas: The sight of the Humpback Whales,
which travel a long distance, from polar waters, to give
birth in the warm equatorial waters. This spectacle of
nature, can actually only be seen in this part of the
planet, and this is the reason why hundreds are
interested in seeing it.
|
Also, you can count with low rate tourist
packages, that will allow you to enjoy watching this
magnificent marine miracle.
|
We invite you to visit us in July,
August, and September, taking advantage of your
children’s school vacation, especially for those who
live in United States, in the Ecuadorian Sierra, and in
Europe.
|
Salinas is waiting for you with open
arms, and for those who are Ecuadorian, remember that
vacationing in your own country enriches our nation. |
