Guayaquil

Guayaquil, a port city in Ecuador, is a gateway to the Pacific beaches and the Galapagos Islands. Along the Guayas River extends the Simón Bolívar boardwalk with its Hemicycle of the Rotunda. To the north is the neighborhood of Las Peñas, full of colorful houses. Accessed by steps lined with cafes and art galleries, Cerro Santa Ana offers views of the city and is home to the Santa Ana chapel and a lighthouse.
