Many people have told us to skip Guayaquil. We read many opinions that there's not much to do here and it's not worth visiting. So we decided to settle into Ecuador's largest city to investigate.

Guayaquil, a Destination marked by Progress and Freedom (Documentary)
Known as the Pearl of the Pacific, Guayaquil is the development engine of the country. The maritime port of Guayaquil is considered as one of the most efficient of the Pacific Coast; 80% of the country’s cargo passes through the port of Guayaquil. It is the point of entry into Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands and the world. It is the most visited city of the country if we add up the national and international visitors. The Jose Joaquin de Olmedo airport, the largest in the country, has been recognized by the users, internationally in its category, as the best airport, for its facilities and the services that are provided in an agile and efficient way; it also has one of the best land terminals of South America.
Guayaquil is considered the city with the most progress in the last 20 years. Mayor Jaime Nebot, with a visionary spirit and the creative work of the people of his administration, has taken the city to the highest levels of development and welfare. It is a beautiful city to visit and discover; it has all the tourist attractions that makes it a national and international destination, where the tourists are welcome with affection by its joyful, kind and tropical people.
Guayaquil is my destination
• To know its history, parks, squares, monuments and churches.
• To Know its museums, sculptures and the street art that is exhibited in its murals and wonderful stained-glass windows, which embellish the bridges and buildings of the city.
• To be part of the Route of Faith and to know its massive religious processions and heritage churches.
• To have fun and enjoy its piers, parks, water fountains and the rides through the Guayas River and the Salado Estuary.
• To taste its gastronomy.
• To enjoy its nature. Guayaquil is one of the fewest cities in the world that hosts diverse ecosystems like tropical forests, both humid and dry; mangroves, which alongside estuaries and the majestic Guayas River, have and an incomparable fauna and flora. The beauty of its landscapes makes the city a place to dream. The birds can be observed in the city thanks to the urban regeneration that has created scenarios within the parks, piers, and flowerbeds, which have become a habitat for different endemic species. The dolphins of El Morro represent a great attraction and also the iguanas that can be observed in the Seminario Park.
• Ecuador is the place of orchids and was chosen for having a variety of more than 4.000 species. Guayaquil has diverse orchids that distinguished the city, reason why, the City’s Council picked an orchid to be the emblematic flower of Guayaquil: the “ Encyclia Angustiloba Schltr” that was discovered 200 years ago an that can be appreciated at the botanical garden, hills and different settings where it flowers with its enigmatic beauty. An enormous sculpture will be crafted to represent the orchid in the north area of the city.

What to do in Guayaquil, Ecuador
We are on are way to the Galapagos and to get to the Galapagos you have to take a flight from Guayaquil, Ecuador. We decided to spend 8 days in Guayaquil, Ecuador before making our way to the Galapagos.
Guayaquil is the most populous city in Ecuador with 3.1 million people living there. The city is quite old, it was founded in 1538. Guayaquil is located in the south of north-andeans subduction zone, which mean’s it’s constantly under threat of major earth quakes and tsunami’s. The last major earth quake was in 2016, a 7.8 magnitude earth quake struck the region.
With only 8 day’s to spend in Guayaquil and with a variety of tours and things to do it was difficult to do all of them.
We stayed at the Wyndam hotel, it’s located in a very convenient location on the Malecon 2000. The Malecon 2000 is a beautiful boardwalk that stretches down the Guayas river. The Malecon 2000, previous referred to as the old Simon Bolivar malecon is quite old and was recently restored. There is now 2.5km of newly restored boardwalk. The boardwalk features museums, carnivals, fairs, roller coasters, IMAX cinemas, shopping, beautiful statues and architecture.
The Malecon 2000 is one of the most popular things to do in Guayaquil and attracts more than 1.5 million people per month. More importantly it’s a safe spot for tourists to roam, use their cameras and have fun with the family.
Half way down the Malecon, you can book a boat ride on a pirate ship which will take you down the Guayas river and show you the beautiful city. If you continue walking, you can leave the Malecon and just a few blocks away is Iguana Park. It’s a small cute little park with ton’s of large iguanas and a small pond with hundreds of turtles in it. We do not recommend leaving the Malecon at night. The Malecon is safe, there is plenty of security, however leaving the Malecon does bring some risks for tourists. If you plan on visiting Iguana park, please do it in the middle of the day and be cautious.
Another great thing to do is visit Las Penas, it’s a short hike to the top 444 steps in total and it will provide you with a beautiful view of Guayaquil and the rivers. Along the way you will find cute restaurants and some tourist shops.

Guayaquil
La independencia de la ciudad de Guayaquil fue un proceso independentista que tuvo lugar el 9 de octubre de 1820, con el propósito de romper los lazos coloniales que existían entre el territorio de la Provincia de Guayaquil y el Imperio español, y que dio paso al surgimiento de la Provincia Libre de Guayaquil.???????? La independencia de Guayaquil marcó el comienzo de la guerra de independencia de la Real Audiencia de Quito como parte de las guerras emancipadoras de Hispanoamérica. Entre los factores más influyentes para su desencadenamiento se puede determinar la voluntad de los criollos, los cuales ya poseían un alto estatus social y económico, de obtener el poder político.
