444 steps sounds like alot, and it probably would be if you wanted to walk them all at once. It is a good thing for this 56 year old body that there are several places on the way up to have a snack or a cool drink. There are also some shops and good places for pictures. Leave a Comment

Bring some bananas if you really want to see a stampede. Don't worry about petting the iguanas, they don't care - just don't stand under the trees for too long unless you have an umbrella!! Leave a Comment Address: El CentroDirections: Two blocks west of the malecon 2000

 Iguanas feast by Strannik
That's possible in Guayaquil and I tell you, it is really a spectacular show, though fortunately for we humans, they prefer cabbages and lettuces,
Go to Iguanas Park at lunch-time and enjoy the show (but take care where you stand, some of them rush and might fall on you) :) Leave a Comment Address: Clemente Ballén entre Chile y ChimborazoDirections: Parque Seminario or most commonly known as Parque de las Iguanas, in front of Cathedral

 Salado Estuary by namastedc
In general, you go through a very poor part of the city along the estuary, where the houses are falling into the water. However, you can see the Barcelona futbol stadium and a cement factory! Leave a Comment Address: Malecon SaladoDirections: Malecon Salado, South end by the Ceviche stands

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. Leave a Comment

At all hours of the day and late into the night, tourists can stroll the full 2km of its length, enjoying the gardens, buildings, river, restaurants, shops, and museums, without any worry of being harrassed or robbed!
If you have just one day to spend in Guayaquil, save at least 2 hours for the Malecon 2000. Leave a Comment Address: Guayaquil CentroDirections: On the river - EVERYONE knows where the Malecon is.

Good idea... considering the actual inclination of truly travelers this is the best way to know the natural soul of its citizens, isn't it??
Cerro Blanco... a natural reserve located near to Guayaquil which offers the oportunity to know how was Guayaquil originally.
The Cerro Blanco Protector Forest.
The nearest place to visit, (route to Salinas city beach), which has almost 6000 acres and small hills of over 800 metres over the sea level where you can find different species of animals like “migalas” (big black spiders), eagles, falcons, raccoons, stags and others. Also you'll find a vegetal extensive area where you see the famous “ceibos” well known better because of its particular attitude to throw its leaves to protect itself of the intensive sun and drought. There are over 100 species of plants and trees, 211 of birds, 30 kinds of birds of prey and 33 mammal kinds.
Its symbol is the “Papagayo de Guayaquil” (parrot of Guayaquil) an endemic colorful specie of bird who lives only in the city zone and is on extinction way.
You will find a camping and picnic area, an amphitheatre and also the rescue wild life center to observe the parrot of Guayaquil, monkeys, long-tailed monkeys and others. There is a little integral farm with an organic garden produce, medicinal plants, bee honey and other products to sell.
You will be guide by a special guide of the forest. There are three paths options differentiated by distance and time. My recommendation is to cross the “Buena vista largo” path. (Large nice sight). It will take 5 hours of an interesting hike. Be sure to have comfortable shoes and fresh ecuadorian water. Address: Road to Salinas beachPhone: 2871900Directions: Around Guayaquil.

I think Guayaquil is a great city to start you journey in Ecuador. You are only 1 hour to the closest beach, 4 hour to Cuenca, 5 hour to Banos, and 1 hour to Galapagos Islands Leave a Comment Directions: One of my favorite spot is located 1.30 hour from here. A Natural HOT SPRING, for only .50 cents entrance fee. For 1.50$ you will get a full body massage, with Aloe Vera or Mud, for another 1.50 $ youOther Contact: And of course we have Galapagos

Malecon 2000 lies between the city an the Guayas River. There are cafe style restaurants, fast food stalls, many outdoor vendors. Plus there is an indoor shopping mall, "Centro Comerical Malecon". You can "cool off" for a bit from the humidity and find just about anything you want in the many stores located there. Leave a Comment
