Anyone here familiar with the little tourist town of las Peñas? I just got back from a trip up the north coast. My last stop was las Peñas, and it turned out to be an awesome place. It's been discovered by Columbian tourists and folks from the northern cities such as Ibarra, and the town seems poised to grow. It had a Canoa like vibe, only with no surf but more wildlife and better swimming.
It's not the rainy season right now, so maybe I just caught the town during the best time of year. Any opinions on the place? I am thinking about buying a little house there and renting one of the shops on the waterfront.
Here's the house I found there. It needs a bit of work, but it's only $21,000.
