Guayaquil is a coastal town, larger than Quito with about 3million people. It is the commercial centre where Quito is the political centre. We flew from here to the Galapagos and now back again to catch the train back to Quito.
It is a city that surprised me. I had thought that it would be closer to Colon in Panama and found it to be a beautiful thriving mix of old and new Ecuador. We walked along a beautiful water front promenade and up and back some 400 steps of a pedestrian area. Lots of Artist shops and cobblestones. We ducked into the perfect hole-in-wall for a bit of lunch. And got lost and found a beautiful mirador.
It also has lots of traffic and spaghetti roadways, it was perfect for an afternoon stroll.
