Via Via Tonsupa

Directions (how to arrive at the hostel) / Comment arriver à l'auberge:

BY BUS

If you travel by bus, you should ask the bus driver to stop in Tonsupa, near the bridge, at the meeting point of the pedicabs (triciclos). This place or road is called 'La entrada de Cabaplan'. Here you take a pedicab (50 cents per person) and you ask for ViaVia Tonsupa, situated at two blocks from the beach. You can also take a look at the map.

BY PLANE

You can get to Esmeraldas by plane from Quito and from Cali. At the airport of Esmeraldas you should look for a bus displaying “Casablanca”. This is a tourist resort situated to the south of Tonsupa. You then ask the driver if you can ride along until ViaVia Tonsupa and to be dropped off in front of the entrance. This will cost you approximately 8 dollars.

BY CAR

If you come from Quito, you should turn left right before you arrive in Esmeraldas, at 'el Leon' (a small statue of a lion, you will see a fork here, Esmeraldas lies straight ahead, but you have to turn left to go to Atacames and Tonsupa). In Tonsupa you have to turn right about 100 metres before the bridge (this is called Entrada de Cabaplan). Turn right when you are two blocks from the beach. You will see the signboard from that point.
