Agua Blanca is located 10 minutes by car heading north from Puerto López, on the right side of the highway to
Machalilla. Lying next to the
Buena Vista River is a complex of
temples,
plazas and
dwellings left by the Manteño Culture, a civilization which reached the peak of its development more than 1,500 years ago in this area. For the interested tourist, this site has to offer an
archaeological museum,
funerary urns and the local customs practiced in the town of
Agua Blanca, as well as nearby natural
ecotourism attractions, such as sulfur springs...
