|
|
Hi everyone,
I'm going to spend 2 or 3 days in Guayaquil in mid / end November (so that is very soon). Has anyone got any suggestions what I can do there? I'm not so interested in museums and churches...
Thanks a lot! |

| Las Penas is a nice area to walk in the evenings. There is a old lighthouse with nice view and a lot of nice restaurants there. Otherwise, I didn“t find much to do in Guayaquil. |

Guayaquil could easily fill 2 days - 3 days if you wanted to see every last thing there is. Anyways, the following are things I would recommend, in order of best to least recommended (I'm not adding anything I WOULDN'T recommend, so don't worry about something being bad!!)
Malecon 2000
MAAC Museaum (pronounced "Mac")
Las Penas Hill
Iguana Park
Parque Historico
Cerro Blanco
Botanical Garden (take a taxi, and have the taxi either wait or meet you in 1-2hours - this is a nice, safe enclosed park in a bad neighborhood)
Discovery Tours boat ride to the island across the river from the Malecon
Boat ride on the Malecon Salado, to see the estuary
Puerto Hondo (boat ride through mangroves)
Municipal Museaum
Write me if you want any other recommendations - such as for restaurants, taxi companies, etc.
Good luck!
