Guayaquil (population about 2 million) is Ecuador's largest
city and seaport on the country's Pacific Coast. It is a tropical
city with temperatures ranging from 75-90 F/24-32 C and a rainy
season beginning in January and usually ending sometime in April
or May. Previously considered an unattractive, smelly city and
excluded from most tourist itineraries, Guayaquil has received
an impressive face-lift from the previous and current municipal
administrations. In addition to a series of public works, the
Malecon 2000 is a safe, pleasant 2.5 mi/4 km promenade along
the banks of the Guayas River offering a variety of gardens,
restaurants, recreational areas, monuments, shops and the soon-to-be-inaugurated
Museum of Anthropology and Contemporary Art. Live concerts and
theatrical events at Malecon 2000 are offered frequently between
May and October. Hostels in Guayaquil |
