Salango is located on the shores of the Pacific, in southern Manabi Province, in the buffer zone of the Machalilla National Park.

Amongst the natural attractions is the island of Salango, home to beautiful species of seabirds such as blue-footed boobies, frigates, and pelicans among others.

Traces and words of native languages remain, such as colonche, vine, Tuzco, Sercapez, Valdivia, and Salango.

The Salango commune, aware of its historical and ancestral roots chose to separate the regime of the Communal rights and its former legal status.
