So special place for me from my childhood. You can relax and have a special moment. Spectacular view of the ocean.
I love this natural place. The environment is unic
La Chocolatera has at least 2 meanings in the local terms. Its a feeding place where you may buy and consume some food (you may need to buy water there). Its also a popular name of the peninsula tip with a number of miradors (lookouts). You will, actually, be looking for those. You may spend an hour or more there watching and photographing ocean waves lashing mighty rocks which makes spectacular views.
Awesome place, brings me back to my young boy years!
I have not been there in over 10 years. I love the changes. It is a lot safer now. It is definitely a must see while in Salinas.
Beautiful place to stay in family and friends... Its important to have cap and water
Beautiful place, I wish that I could stay there longer!
This place Is really worth the visit! Some breathtaking views of both the ocean and the Salinas skyline. If you go right before closing time, you can stay to see the sunset.
Great place for families. Has public restrooms, food, gift shops and fantastic views.
Beautiful public space with breathtaking views. A few places to shop and buy souvenirs.
Cute little surfside town near Montanita but without the noise! $1.50 to get to the party town, but Olon is a great place to relax.
Lovely .enchanted place
Awesome views. A must go place if traveling the coast
Is a beautiful place, and you can enjoy ride the bicycle
Really nice viewpoint on the tip of the coast of the Pacific OceanFeel the breeze and enjoy a cup of coffeeFree entranceInside a military complex, so its very safeReally near La Loberia and El Morro which you should also visit.Many photo opportunities.
How beautiful is to admire natural places as they are! Great job taking care of these areas!
Not a great deal.....If you like to watch the sea and rocks, that is your place, otherwise, not a interesting place. Probably if they make a nice restaurant and a hotel will be more appealing to go.
It is a beautiful landmark. The sea shows its might shaping the rock in amazing ways.
Is Wonderfull place to visit At EcuadorHappy timea with good freinds
The rocky coast of Ecuador. Not for swimming!!!!
It’s awesome
Awesome views ! And you can actually see seals
Had a real nice time walking around this area. Very beautiful.
Very good
Beautiful, awesome, amazing views
Nice visit, no save place to swim(strong currents)
One of those places you just need to see with your own eyes. Untouched and beautiful. Ocean in all directions, fresh air and very few people. Highly recommended.
Spectacular views of the ocean.
Breathtakingly beautiful especially at high tide or sunset
Emblemático place. Easy to hike and it doesnt take too much time to visit.
La Chocolatera is part of 3 viewpoints within the military complex, called the FAE. Don’t be intimidated to walk or drive into the military base. It’s open to the public during the day [till about 5pm]. Within the base is La Liberia, El Faro and la Chocolatera with a small, free museum. Every point has it’s clean toilets. La Loberia is like an open zoo. The sea lions (lobo marino) come to this rock to mate and have their babies. Beside this, La Loberia is also a great surf place. Surfers from all over the world enjoy the waves there.
If you are ever in Salinas, Ecuador go here. The view is amazing and you get to see some history since its inside a military base. Plus its free. Also you get to see some really crazy waves and this is definitely a photo spot. . One more thing bring a jacket/sweater because those waves are crazy for a reason.
Nice view. The first blowhole I can hear and you are very close
Is beautiful.
Great place to visit, unless you are disabled, they do provide disabled parking and there are some ramps, the toilets are one accessible to wash your hands, and the trails are very rough. There is a restaurant and souvenir shops, the place is run by the department of the Environment, they are helping to reduce the impact of tourists.
Great tourist spot
Western point of Ecuador. Able to visit Sea Lions out on rocks
Good place, but i prefer a caribian island
Beautiful place!! They now have a bar to eat and drink, loved it!
Amazing scenery from the top of the cliff. Cristal clear waters but swimming is prohibit due to the choppy waters and rocks at the bottom.
Beautiful place
Do you love chocolate? This is great place to know how is made.
Great place!
The place is a little part of the Pacific Ocean
Beautiful view!!
Amazing views
Excellent for tourism
Very attractive place
Beautiful place to make contact with the ocean.
Amazing views! Its a little tough to get to. Most people going to Salinas never go here. You have to pass security and tell them you want to go to the chocholatera. Theyll let you through without an issue.
Superb.. ️️
Its a lovely place full of life. Nice place to go catch the sunset.
Best views in Salinas
Great place to visit. great view of the coast and you get to see sea lions on the rocks near the shore.
The natural sound the wave made thru the underneath cave, the experience at half of the worlds.
Wonder

The Santa Elena Puntilla Coastal Marine Fauna Production Reserve houses the site called The Chocolatera. The Chocolatera is the most salient point of the continental Ecuador and it is the second most salient point in the Pacific South America.

Most westerly point of Ecuador. Pass through Gate into military area. June-sept whale watching
We took a.3 dollar cab and saw whales from the observation area. Boats charge 16 per person to see this and they were just offshore. Very worth a visit.
