10 Cultural Tours in Guayaquil That You Shouldn't Miss
Founded in the 1530s, Ecuador's largest city and main port is the top access point for Galapagos cruises and home to a bustling import-export business. Tourism is on the rise as well, thanks to a new international airport and urban renewal projects along the River Guayas promenade and in the historic neighborhood of Las Peñas. The 465-step climb to the top of Santa Ana Hill provides sweeping views and a chance to stand on the site of the city's birthplace.

This was a great way to see the city in air conditioned comfort. Our tour guide is a retired airline pilot with perfect English and a great deal of knowledge regarding the city. We opted for the breakfast/lunch tour. We toured spots outside of the usual “tourists traps”. Lunch was perfection! We ate local cuisine at a corner cafe and the owner explained each dish in great detail. Don’t leave Guayaquil without taking this tour.

Angel Yunda picked us up at our hotel on time for this wonderful tour. He answered our questions as we ambled to each of the animals featured along the board walk. Additionally, he took us to view the inside of the historical buildings at the park which were quite a treasure! He waited patiently as I snapped pictures in this relaxing environment. It almost felt like he was part of our family. The monkeys were so entertaining! The red mangroves were the tallest I had ever seen!
