Luggage storage Montanita

Store your luggage around Montañita with Bounce

Located over 500 km from Quito, Montañita is Ecuador's premium party town. This formerly sleepy fishing village has become a place where surfers and backpackers come to spend days on a private beach and nights in lively nightclubs, and the extremely loud sound stays pumping all night long. In fact, this is probably the loudest place in all of Ecuador, so it's certainly not a place to come if you want to relax, unwind, and listen to the ocean.

Noise aside, though, Montañita has plenty to recommend it. You can find some great room deals on places like the Hotel Olympus, and there are lots of places to stay that are not a hotel but offer all those hotel features you're after, like free Wi-Fi and 24-hour check-in. There's a reason all these tours come here to enjoy what Montañita has to offer.

In this party town, you won't want to carry more than you need to. Finding luggage storage should be your top priority so you can store luggage safely and travel light.

Top things to do in Montañita

Montañita is, more than anything, a place to party. And when you're not in the nightclub, chances are good you'll either be lounging by an outdoor pool or spending some time on the beach, including the iconic Los Frailles beach. But as one-dimensional as the town can sometimes seem, there's actually more going on in Montañita than you might think.

Museums in Montañita

Yes, Montañita does actually have museums, even if many of the town's young tourists stay well away. If you feel the need to feed your intellect in between surfing, swimming, snorkeling, eating, and partying, it's not hard to find a fantastic place to do just that.

• Valdivia Pre-Columbian Museum: The Valdivians were a little-known culture that lasted a long time, from the year 700 up until the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. This museum collects fascinating artifacts from the Spanish civilization that will remind you that long before Montañita beach became party central, it was home to a rich and fascinating culture.
• Artes Olón: Just a few miles up the coast from Montañita, this small arts center isn't exactly the Louvre. However, it does have a good collection of work by local artists, much of which is for sale if you want a unique souvenir of your time in Ecuador.
• Museo Arqueologico De Salango: Located in the neighboring town of Salango, this fascinating museum explores the very earliest traces of human settlement in Ecuador. You'll learn about the first tribes that made a home here, followed by the civilizations they created before the Spanish conquest of South America. This is a great location to get a better sense of the whole sweep of Ecuadorian history.

Shopping in Montañita

In among the surf shops and tattoo parlors that line the waterfront, you'll find establishments in Montañita that provide everything you need. Although this isn't the shopping mecca that, say, Beverly Hills is, it's not hard to find interesting souvenirs and gifts for people back home. However, many of the shops are small family-owned establishments, so make sure you find luggage storage before you visit so that you won't take up all the space in the store with your things.

• Hamacas Coronado: Few things are more relaxing than swinging in a hammock, and when you visit this specialist store, you'll have your pick of a huge variety of locally made hammocks that will always remind you of your trip. Lounging in your hammock on a sunny day at home will undoubtedly bring back great memories of Montañita.
• Tienda el Mirador: Although it's not really a place you'll deliberately seek out on your vacation, it's good to know that this grocery and convenience store is there. One of the main stores in Montañita, this is the place to come for snacks, drinks, sunscreen, and everything else you need.
• Mercado San Pedro: Located a little way south of Montañita itself, this shopping mall has everything you need, from groceries to souvenirs to clothing and places to eat. Be warned that the road leading there isn't the best, though.

Restaurants in Montañita

The popularity of Montañita with tourists means there are plenty of places to eat here. Plus, some restaurants aim to serve an international clientele, while others focus on traditional Ecuadorian cuisine. One of the best places to eat and drink in Montañita is Calle de los Cocteles, or Cocktail Street, where you'll find some of the liveliest bars and restaurants in town.

• Tambo Sabores Peruano: This Peruvian restaurant takes advantage of Montañita's coastal location to provide the best ceviche in town. You'll find an incredible selection of seafood on offer here, all of it fresh from the waters surrounding the city, so you really can't go wrong.
• Kapadokia: This Mediterranean restaurant offers classic dishes like spaghetti, lasagna, kofte, and Greek salad to take your taste buds on a tour of the Mediterranean without leaving Ecuador's Pacific shores.
• Rose's Burger: No prizes for guessing what's on the menu here. When you just want your fix of a burger and fries, this is the place to come, and you certainly won't be the only traveler enjoying a meal at the outdoor tables.
