Workation in Manta: the essentials
Tuna is Manta's main business, and the fleet and canneries sit beside one of Ecuador's largest seaports on the Pacific coast. About 259,000 people live here, making it the biggest city in Manabí Province, and it has been a trading post since pre-Columbian times. Playa El Murciélago is the city beach, and Montecristi, the historic home of the Panama hat, is close inland. The 2016 earthquake badly damaged the Tarqui district. Eloy Alfaro International Airport is about 4 km from the centre. Ecuador's states of emergency over organised crime since 2024 have included Manabí, so check current travel advice.
