El Tambo is a small community or sector within the Santa Elena Province. Like many of the smaller settlements on the Peninsula, it is primarily a residential and/or fishing community, away from the major tourist centers.

Context

The Santa Elena Peninsula has numerous small villages and communities between the main towns (Salinas, La Libertad, Santa Elena, Montañita). El Tambo is one such community — a quiet area that gives a sense of authentic Peninsula life away from tourist areas.

Getting There

El Tambo is accessible by road from La Libertad or Santa Elena city. Local buses may pass through the area. A taxi from La Libertad is the most convenient option for visitors.
