Atacames. Atacames is Ecuador's epicenter of seaside celebration. It has the fastest Internet on the coast. Proof is that I uploaded this video in eleven minutes where it took more than half an hour in Sua. Twenty-four hour thatched-roof bars on the sand serve up the most amazing tropical fruit drinks with reggae and salsa beats a bit too loud for us old folks. Ecuadorians and foreigners alike wander led oceanfront filled with hotels and restaurants, checking out the scene.
