About Guayaquil

Guayaquil is Ecuador's largest city and main port, a hot, humid river city with a landscaped waterfront and a hillside of coloured houses.

Guayaquil sits on the estuary of the Guayas River on the Pacific side of Ecuador. The Malecón 2000, a long riverside promenade, runs past gardens, museums, a clock tower and a viewing wheel. At the northern end, the Las Peñas quarter climbs Cerro Santa Ana, its coloured wooden houses lining a stairway of more than 400 steps that ends at a lighthouse and chapel.
