Esmeraldas Travel Guide
Ecuador
Esmeraldas is a city of 165,216 people in northern Ecuador, on the country’s Pacific coast. Its position close to the Equator gives it a warm tropical coastal climate.
Air travellers arrive through Colonel Carlos Concha Torres Airport (ESM), which serves the city. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so travellers seeking a particular beach may need to look farther along the coast.
