Guayaquil

Guayaquil is the capital of the Ecuadorian province of Guayas and the seat of the namesake canton. (In Ecuador, a cantón canton) is a second-order subnational entity below a first-order province.}

These places are located in the downtown area, near the main hotels and at the heart of the regenerated area, a very secure walk.

  • The . It is a long park beside the Rio Guayas ("Guayas River"), with shops, an IMAX theater, gardens, and a beautiful view of both the river and downtown.
  • The "Malecon del Salado" located next to the "Estero Salado" (an estuary of sea water), here you can enjoy fresh air and wonderful sunsets, with restaurants of typical food, all framed within a very safe new park.
  • The renewed downtown area (Area regenerada), very secure to walk and look around.
  • Museums (Museo Municipal, Museo Nahim Isaias, located in the center of the downtown)
  • Santa Ana & El Carmen hills, you can see almost the whole city from here. You can walk up the 400 odd steps to the top from the . There is a lighthouse, museum, small chapel and park at the top. Along the stairs, vendors sell water, ice cream and other snacks.
  • Las Peñas, where the city was founded, was actually rebuilt and painted bright colors.
  • Parks, we recommend to visit the "Parque de las Iguanas" downtown, which is home to hundreds of tame iguanas, some fish in a pond and a black squirrel or two.
  • The Central Bank building has several giant paintings on the outside of the building.
  • Markets, you can visit the "Mercado Artesanal", where you can buy some very cheap souvenirs from all regions of Ecuador. Near the Malecon 2000. Be careful here.

Other interesting places near Guayaquil:

  • "Parque Histórico", an interesting recreation of the early 20th century years of Guayaquil, the look, the people and the food. Includes a small zoo.
  • "Crucero Discovery", rides up and down the Rio Guayas. You can catch it at Malecon 2000. Crazy parties at night.
  • Salinas, the main beach. Fishing, surfing, and other water sports. Many moderns hotels and delicious sea food. Interesting night life.

The following places are not so safe, but interesting to see if you are daring.

  • 6 de Marzo is an interesting street to visit about 10 blocks from the downtown area during the week before New Year's Eve, because the street is lined with "Años Viejos" or old years, paper maché figures ranging in size from about 12 inches up to 10 or more feet tall. These are often political, movie or cartoon characters.
  • La Bahía, just off the southern end of the . Huge market area full of shops and stalls of almost anything imaginable. Beware of pickpockets, thieves and tempting pirated CDs and DVDs.
