Hola,

If you want to stay on the Pan Americana (the coastal route is the quickest, but also the least interesting route), a nice place to stopover is Trujillo/Huanchaco (situated a few miles north of Trujillo, Huanchaco is famous for surfing and reed boats). The archaeological site of Chan Chan is also an easy day trip from Trujillo.
I recommend that you get off the coast as you head north from Trujillo and head inland to Cajamarca. This is where Pizarro imprisoned Atahualpa and held him for ransom. Travel northeast from Cajamarca to Chachapoyas and visit the ancient fortress of Kuelap, midway between Celendin and Chachapoyas.
Further north along the coast, the city of Piura is interesting. It is also home to many of the best Peruvian cumbia and technocumbia music groups. Back on the coast, midway between Piura and Tumbes lies Mancora. Mancora is a great place to relax on the beach, with good waves, beachside lodging and cheap restaurants in town.
After crossing the border into Ecuador, head inland to Cuenca if you have the time. Cuenca is a very nice colonial city in the sierra, situated at 2,500 meters.

Buen viaje,

ElDesierto

Travel Tips for Guayaquil

The Other Charms of the Guayaquil Historic Park

by grandmaR

The Central Bank of Ecuador established this part in order to preserve the old customs and culture of Ecuador.

The Area Traditions area tries to establish a close relationship between the lifestyles, habits and production of the coastal area of the nineteenth and twentieth century, including displays of of medicinal plants and methods of horticulture. This included such things as a dugout canoe and goats in pens (see photos 4 and 5) The Wildlife Area is to preserve the vegetation, flora and fauna of the original ecosystem most representative of this area, such as mangrove swamps and tropical dry forest, which in the past were abundant in the province of Guayas. They used mangrove roots and woods to weave the barriers for the animals. The animals there include the “Papagayo de Guayaquil” (parrot of Guayaquil) an endemic colorful specie of bird who lives only in the city zone and is on the way to extinction.

Ecuadorian People are full of...

by dreamkapture

Ecuadorian People are full of LIFE! They like to party , drink, eat and watch football. If you go to a restaurant normally the 10% services is included but you can give a tip at your discretion, i am sure it will be appreciated. The general rules goes for all the countries in the world: RESPECT of others. To greet someone you might say 'Ola QUE TAL'. Hi how are you?

Shrimping

by malianrob

On the coast thousands of acres are set aside with shallow, man made lakes for shrimo farming.
Shrimping is the largest private sector business in the country. There is alot of money in this business, but there is major damage done to the ecosystem of the coast.

Malecon 2000

by grandmaR

We drove by this area on the way to the Historic Parque. It is one of the top things to see in Guayaquil. It is a major renovation of the Malecon (which I think is the name for the old port area on the Guayas River) and it runs about 1.5 miles. It is dotted with monuments, entertainment, and food. There are playgrounds for the children, workout areas for adults, ponds and an ice rink.

From the bus we saw the Hemicicio de la Rotanda is a historical monument on the Malecon is an outstanding piece of art of which all Ecuadorians are proud of. There is a statue of Simon Bolivar and San Martin meeting and deciding that Guayaquil would be annexed into Gran-Colombia. This was constructed in 1937.

Also on the Malecon is a wonderful Moorish clock which was originally at the city hall. It was moved to the Malecon in 1903, found to be structurally unsound, demolished and reconstructed. Visitors may ascend the tower via spiral staircases. This is the local Guayaquil equivalent of the Brooklyn Bridge which is sold by local scam artists to unsuspecting foreigners. I got a photo, but it isn't the best one that it could be.

Fort Santa Ana

by Joemidwest

At the top of Las Penas is the Fort. This was an ideal spot for the lookouts and defense positions in the 19th and 20th centuries. Now there is a light house behind where the cannons are positioned. It looks good at night but they say it is of no navigational value.
