Guayaquil

From the Pacific Ocean, Santiago de Guayaquil, Ecuador's seaport city and gateway to beaches on the Pacific and the Galapagos Islands, lies along the Pacific Ocean. It is an attractive, vibrant city characterized by its dynamism, organization, outstanding urban achievements, and its people's warmth. The Simón Bolívar Pier with its Rotonda Hemicycle extends next to the Guayas River. A few meters away from the north stands Barrio Las Peñas, characterized by its colorful houses, where a set of 456 stairs lined up with cafes, craft shops, and art galleries guides towards the top of Santa Ana Hill. At the top, overlooking the city, boasts Santa Ana Chapel and a lighthouse.
