Puerto Lopez, on the coast of Ecuador, just one hour away from the party town Montañita. It´s a small quiet fishing town, also the port to visit some outer islands, where people call it The Poor´s Galapagos.

On a late afternoon, I strolled down the long long beach, and I saw a sky full of big birds, turns out it´s a huge flock of Frigate birds shamelessly robbing fishes from fishermen while they were unloading their catch.
