Isla de la Plata. Silver Island. Poor man’s Galapagos.
Living for a month in Montañita has been great, but honestly, the town is super small and I think all of us started to feel like we were trapped. Lucky for some of us in the yoga teacher training, one of the girls was proactive and researched and set up a day trip to Isla de la Plata for us on our free Sunday.
I’ve been Montañita for over three weeks now, and at this point it kind of feels like home. The town is small enough that I feel like after just three weeks, I have a pretty good idea on where and what to eat (and I’m obsessed with food so of course this is of high importance for me). As a lot of tourists visit, it has been really easy to find vegetarian/vegan food to eat!
Montañita, Ecuador – the place I’ve called home for almost two weeks now. Montañita may be known as a party town, but I’m here for quite the opposite – 200 hour yoga teacher training.
In the one and a half weeks of training, I’ve learned Vedic chants, Sanskrit, yoga sutras, how to sequence a class… oh and I’ve already co-taught TWO classes (practice makes perfect y’all). My days have been filled with nonstop yoga. And when I’m not in class, I’m either planning a class to teach or humming yoga sutras (or let’s be real, eating!). However, I have found time to enjoy more than just the yoga studio (though it is quite lovely)!
Looking for what do in Montañita that doesn’t involve staying up all night partying? These five things should have you covered on how to spend a few days (or even a few weeks!) in this small beach town.
As an anxious person, I like to feel prepared and create lists to cross off in order to calm the nerves. Below you’ll find the last minute things to cross off before you begin your journey.
