Join us aboard Azamara Onward as we explore cruise ports in Ecuador and Peru during our Panama Canal cruise from Miami to Lima! In this video, we visit Guayaquil, Manta, and Salaverry / Trujillo, but the true highlight was our incredible excursion to Cacao y Mango near Guayaquil. There, we toured a working cacao plantation, learned how chocolate is grown and produced, and got to taste and experience the process firsthand — all capped off with a wonderful three-course lunch. We also share our quick self-guided stop in Manta, Ecuador, and our visit to Trujillo, Peru, where we explored the Plaza de Armas and had lunch at Paprika Restaurant inside the Costa del Sol Hotel before returning to the ship. If you’re planning an Azamara cruise, researching a Panama Canal itinerary, or looking for ideas for Ecuador and Peru cruise excursions, we hope this video helps you decide what’s worth doing in port!
