Welcome to Hostal Cruzita

Crucita is a laid-back fishing town on Ecuador’s Pacific coast, in the province of Manabí — and one of the best places in the country to fly. A steady ocean breeze meets the long ridge above the beach, giving paragliders smooth, dependable soaring just minutes from where they sleep.

Our hostel sits right in the heart of it, built by and for pilots. Whether you’re here to log airtime, learn to fly, or simply slow down by the sea, you’ll find good company, fresh seafood, and some of the most beautiful sunsets on the coast.
