	TRIPS TO ECUADOR: NATIONAL PARK MACHALILLA Located to 500 km. of Quito, the National Park Machalilla extends on a surface of 55,000 Has., in the province of Manabí, and msnm is a 1.850 height of. It is formed by the continental sector that extends from the coastal edge to the high part of the mountain range of the coast and the island of the Silver. The low areas of the park are dry and semidesert, but they present/display beautiful landscapes, beaches, bays and cliffs. Machalilla adopts its name of a pair of indigenous spouses - it was called MALE and she LILLA- that were based in this region to dedicate themselves soon to the fishing and to agriculture. The park not only is important by its flora and its fauna, but also by its great archaeological value, since this zone is the center of the Manteña culture. To 5 kilometers of distance of the population of Port Lopez are the White Water mines and the Good valley Vista, in which interesting archaeological rest of the cultures Machalilla and Manteña are located, whose antiquity can go back until 3000 year a. C. The marine area of the park, that at the moment is in study, is of extraordinary importance because it constitutes part of the zone of reproduction of different species from whales. In reefs it exists a great natural wealth conformed by diverse species of fish and, invertebrate, among others equinodermos, starfishes and cucumbers. The climate, and therefore the vegetation, of the Park has decisively been determined by the alternating convergence against their coasts of the cold current of Humboldt and the warm current of Panama, phenomenon that have marked in the Park two times of the year clearly defined, a rainy one of January to May, and another drought of June to December. To this marine particularitity it is necessary to add the equally determining influence of the coastal mountain range Chongón-Colonche, with his rustic orography the one that capriciously the caused Park crosses unique climatic micro variations and the cliff presence spectacular. The Park is a true natural museum of the pre-Columbian history of Ecuador and South America. In this zone have been several places that contain forceful archaeological evidence of the most important cultures of the Ecuadorian coast, among them the Valdivia culture, possibly the older slums of South America; these findings have tried that to the area of Machalilla a center of the most important marine commerce at regional level constituted. At the moment he is one of the visited national parks more of Ecuador; it contains continental territory, the colorful Salango islands and of the Silver, several islands smaller and small barren islands and a marine area of two nautical miles that is entered in the sea from the coast. FAUNA: The animal characteristic of this area are the deer and two species of monkeys, howling and mico (this last one is endemic of the sudoccidental forest of the country). The wild life has undergone a great impact by the intensive use of the natural resources, forest as as much faunísticos. The hunters always have shown preference by the great species, like the deer. They emphasize the carnivorous tropical primates and many herbivorous species (pacas, agoutis, monkeys, squirrels, anteater, sluggish), marine and terrestrial birds (great and small herons, pelicans, gulls, birds frigate, hawks) like different species from reptiles. Terrestrial and aquatic turtles, snakes, small lizards and a great variety of fish. FLORA: For several investigators the forests droughts, still little known, are counted between most interesting of the world by their high degree of endemismo: it has been located in them until a 20 percent of endemic species. The most representative flora of the park includes: carob tree, raft, ceibo, guayacán, laurel, matapalo, wood santo, bigeye tuna, cecropia, the palm, the cactus, the enredadera, the tree of soothes natural, the miraguano and some species of orchids and bromelias. The vegetation in three categories can be classified: rainy forest, dry and very dry forest.
