Guayaquil City Tour With Museum VisitExplore > Ecuador > Guayaquil > Guayaquil City Tour With Museum Visit
OverviewWelcome to Guayaquil, Ecuador's largest city. Located on the western banks of the Río Guayas, Guayaquil is Ecuador's largest city, the country's chief seaport, and industrial and commercial center. This city tour will introduce you to the most interesting parts of the city, plus the municipal museum. Depart from the cruises ship pier and drive down Julio Ave, passing Barrio Centenario, the most traditional residential area of Guayaquil. At Plaza de Las Iguanas you will see "the cathedral" which was originally built in 1547 out of wood before being destroyed by a city fire in 1896. Only the small quarter Las Penas, in the north of the city, was preserved and is now the oldest and last picturesque vestige of the colonial Guayaquil. Your next stop will be the Malecón 2000. Drive along the border of the Río Guayas, and appreciate this beautiful ocean walk and drive.
