Santa Elena

Santa Elena sits on the Santa Elena Peninsula in coastal Ecuador, where dry, low-lying terrain extends toward the Pacific Ocean. The provincial capital forms part of the Salinas–La Libertad–Santa Elena urban area, connecting civic life with the beaches and fishing communities of Ecuador’s western shore. Its principal cultural landmark is the Museo Amantes de Sumpa, which presents archaeological finds from the Sumpa site, including the celebrated prehistoric double burial that inspired its name. The city also provides a useful base for understanding the peninsula beyond the resort districts around Salinas.
