Guayaquil Guided City Tour

Following a pickup from your hotel, you will proceed to the heart of Guayaquil to explore the main streets and avenues of the city center.

Your first stop is Parque Seminario, where you'll appreciate the stunning garden and tranquil lake. This park is also known as "Simón Bolívar Park" and "Iguana Park". The Neo-Gothic Metropolitan Cathedral of Guayaquil serves as an impressive backdrop to this green space, which is inhabited by exotic iguanas, some growing over a meter or approximately 3 feet long.

Next, you will stroll along the popular Malecón 2000, the riverside boardwalk lined with significant monuments, museums, gardens, piers, and viewpoints. This scenic promenade has become one of the most frequented destinations in Guayaquil.

Arriving at the semi-circular Rotonda, a monument dedicated to the liberators of South America, you will uncover the history of the "Guayaquil Conference" held in 1822 between Venezuelan Simón Bolívar and Argentinian José de San Martín, focusing on the future of their countries' independence.

Following this, you will venture into the Las Peñas district, the oldest part of the city. Here, the colorful wooden houses representative of colonial architecture make this neighborhood one of the most picturesque in historic Guayaquil.

To conclude your guided tour, you will ascend to the summit of Santa Ana Hill. From the viewpoint of the historic La Polvorosa fortress, you will enjoy stunning panoramic views of the city and the Guayas River.
