About
El Recreo is a beachfront property consisting of big lots that used to house fruitful farms that belonged to my family since the 50s. Our farm was one of the main producers of coffee, cacao and banana plantations in the country. It also bred the best kinds of cattle and horses in the region.
Today, Canoa features one of the most beautiful stretches of white sandy beaches of Ecuador’s Pacific coast. The enticing mix of local and modern atmosphere keep attracting expats from America and Canada who are in the process of their retirement planning and in search of a relaxing and tranquil lifestyle.
Whether you’re looking for biological alternatives from the organic farms nearby, or if you are looking to experience walking along the endless longitude of the unspoiled beach, El Recreo will bring you one step closer to experiencing your dream lifestyle. At the same time, with its prime location, you are only a 10 minute drive away from the city of Bahia the Caraquez.
