Manta

You first go to the early morning fish market in Manta where you can see the fishermen coming in from their morning fish, unloading their catch and preparing them for sale.

There is a very wide variety of catch here in Manta and it is quite a show to watch.

At the same place, you will be able to see the construction and repair of large wooden fishing boats.

Then, a visit to the Ciudad Alfaro and the Montecristi handicraft shops (where you will find Panama hats and typical crafts).
We would then go to the Pacoche Humid Forest (natural reserve) where you would go on the ~1h15 walk through the forest with a nature guide, the same walk that is described above, in the previous tour.

Typical almuerzo (optional, lunch not included).

It cannot be guaranteed, but on days when cruise ships come to Manta, they almost always have demonstrations of how the Panama hats are made at the Ciudad Alfaro.
