Creative break in Puerto Cayo

After 4 months of traveling we needed a little break to take a deep breath. So we decided to do our first „Workaway“ in Puerto Cayo at the Ecuadorian coast. We stayed three weeks at a urbanization project and took care about the facilities, did some gardening and maintenance. Another big task was to regularly clean up the beach. It’s sad to see how the coastline is suffering from the pollution of plastic garbage.

Besides our work we had enough time to visit Manta and Puerto Lopez, two popular cities at the Pacific Ocean. Due to the fact it’s whale season right now, we joined a whale watching tour to see these magical creatures. The humpback whales come to this region to give birth to their calves.
The next day during some beach cleaning we spotted two female humpbacks with their babies right in front of our beach. I was able to shoot some great footage.

I have to say the three weeks fulfilled their purpose. We’re hungry now to move on and explore the rest of Ecuador.
We’re on the road again.Read more
