La Isla de La Plata is also known as the small Galapagos because it has the same ecosystem and animals living on the Island. In pre-Columbian times the sun and the sea were ceremonial centers of worship for the Incas. Later, Plata Island was visited by buccaneers and pirates.
Finally, it belonged to one of the most famous families in Ecuador to be part of the Machalilla National Park, Isla la Plata is the second protected area of Ecuador.
From June until the first days of October, humpback whales travel more than 7,000 km from Antarctica to the shores of Machalilla National Park in Ecuador. La Isla de La Plata is considered a breeding area for different species of whales and dolphins. It is also a place where they unite together. Only in these few months, you can enjoy acrobatic shows from these wonderful animals.
