    The place of our project is the fishermen town of Tonchigue on the coast of Ecuador, Tonchigue has about 5000 people and their main activity is fishing. Tonchuigue has a beautiful beach and all year tropical weather with an average temperature of 27C˚ or 87F˚.

    Our place offers a unique opportunity to spend time next to a tropical beach, learn Spanish, learn about the local fishermen culture and spend time with young people who want to grow in a healthy way, play basketball, soccer and probably surf and dive.
