Über diesen Tip
Walk the Malecon Pardo in the last hour of daylight for open Pacific views toward the San Lorenzo and El Fronton islands. Mirador Pardo is a good place to stop, and you can continue on foot to the La Punta lookout. Boats move through the bay at that hour, so keep a long lens handy. If the sea looks rough, check local notices first because the seafront can close.
