'''EcuaWiki''' is a collaborative, community-run documentation project covering the '''Santa Elena Peninsula''' and the '''Ruta del Spondylus''' coast of Ecuador. It exists to provide honest, practical, up-to-date information for residents, newcomers, expats, and visitors β€” in one place, maintained by the people who actually live here.


Founded and maintained by [[User:Stephan Kleeblatt|Stephan Kleeblatt]], the wiki covers everything from bus fares to bureaucracy, from the best cevicherΓ­a in La Libertad to how to get your cΓ©dula. It is a work in progress, and '''your contributions make it better'''.

=== [[Portal:LaPeninsula|🌊 The Peninsula]] ===
The Santa Elena Peninsula is the westernmost point of mainland Ecuador β€” a compact strip of Pacific coast with eight thousand years of human history, three cities, dozens of fishing communities, the country's first oil well, and some of the most diverse beach conditions in South America: from the resort surf of Salinas to the wild cliffs of AncΓ³n to the flamingo lagoons of the salt flats.
Β 
[[Portal:LaPeninsula| The Peninsula's]] three cantons β€” '''[[Salinas]]''', '''[[La Libertad]]''', and '''[[Santa Elena (City)|Santa Elena]]''' β€” form a continuous urban conurbation of over 200,000 people. Around them, a ring of smaller parishes and coastal settlements offer quieter, more authentic encounters with the coast.
