Getting There 

The Lalo Loor Dry Forest Reserve is located about 20 minutes south (by bus) from the coastal town of Pedernales, in the province of Manabí, Ecuador.  Pedernales can be reached by paved road from Quito (6 hrs) via Santo Domingo, or from Guayaquil (5 hrs) via Manta and Bahia de Caraquez.  The reserve entrance is just south of the town of Tabuga, and just north of the Camarones River.  A trail from the road leads to the biological station, a few hundred meters into the forest.  An additional map indicating local attractions of the coast also is available.
