Ecuador's largest city and gateway, known for the Malecon riverfront promenade, colorful Santa Ana Hill and tropical energy.

📍 Destination Overview

Guayaquil, Ecuador's largest city and chief port, sits on the Guayas River near the Pacific and is a gateway to the Galápagos. The revitalized Malecón 2000 waterfront links gardens, museums and a Ferris wheel, while Las Peñas on Cerro Santa Ana climbs past colorful houses to sweeping city views. Hot and tropical, this warm metropolis blends modern flair with old-world charm.
