There is a reason time always seems to fly by when you’re having a great time. Science explains that pleasurable events boost dopamine release, which may lead to a faster perception of time. Also, when you are “in the moment” your attention is directed toward the pleasure you’re experiencing, rather than the passage of time. Here’s the thing about this phenomenon: the bad news may be that time flies, but the good news is YOU are the pilot! You are in charge of navigating your life, so you might as well seek out the best way to spend it. Imagine finding a place where each day can be filled with enjoyment, relaxation, and fun. Now imagine it being within your grasp!
The Chipipe neighborhood in Salinas, Ecuador, offers an abundance of opportunities for pleasurable activities, and this affordable condo is located right in the heart of this quiet community. The Chipipe Malecón and one of the most beautiful and family-friendly beaches on Ecuador’s sunny Pacific Coast is just one short block away. The beach fringes a protected bay, so the waves are gentle, perfect for wading, swimming, and water toys, or you can relax in a beach chair under the shade of an umbrella, and enjoy a tropical drink from one of the vendors that stop by. Nearby is the Ecuadorian military base, which is open for visitors to be able to tour the Visitor’s Center at El Morro, walk to the very tip of the Peninsula at La Chocolatera, or utilize one of the tower binocular viewers to get a closer look at the gigantic pinnipeds at La Lobería, the sea lion island!
This 1,130-square-foot condo has an open concept living, dining, and kitchen area featuring a full wall of windows at the far end, overlooking the tip of the peninsula – the westernmost point of mainland Ecuador.
