Guayaquil City Tour

Information

Guayaquil is Ecuador's natural port, and its largest city with a population of two million. It is also the country's financial and commercial center. Founded in 1547, this tropical city lies on the banks of the Guayas River, twelve miles inland from the Gulf of Guayaquil. The people of Guayaquil are outgoing and open, they enjoy their city and are fiercely proud of their heritage.

The visit, includes the main tour attractions of the Port of Guayaquil, the heart of the business district of the city, the Centennial Park that honors the heroes of Guayaquil’s independence.  The Plaza of the Administration and the striking Government and Municipal Buildings, the Moorish Clock Tower, the monument to Sucre and Bolívar Park, with an equestrian statue of South America’s liberator, Simón Bolívar.  This is also called “the park of the iguanas”, as they roam around the park undisturbed and perch on the treetops, blending perfectly with the green leaves.  Beside the park is the neo-gothic Metropolitan Cathedral.  Then drive to the Crystal Palace, the Integration Square, the Plaza of the Flags and the Plaza Olmedo, which are together to the southern side of   Guayaquil’s ravishing Malecon 2000, a 2.5 Km. (1.5 mile) waterfront, running parallel to the River Guayas and featuring historical, cultural and entertainment areas.  An easy walk leads to La Rotonda, which commemorates the meeting of Simon Bolivar and Jose de San Martin. To the north is Santa Ana Hill, and the oldest neighborhood of Guayaquil, Las Peñas, which has been  beautifully restored with bright colored wooden constructions housing many art galleries.
