Things to Do in Guayaquil

If you spent your entire Guayaquil holiday on the Malecón Simón Bolivar, it wouldn’t be a waste. This massive riverfront promenade along the Guayas River is positively popping with interesting shops, lively theatres, museums, shopping arcades and other cool places to see. Lace up your comfy shoes and let the crowds buoy you along the promenade. Make sure to find the monument in the middle that commemorates the meeting of Simón Bolivar and José de San Martín.

Guayaquil does offer other great destinations outside of the Malecón Simón Bolivar. Wander the colourful Las Peñas neighbourhood and view carefully rebuilt colonial buildings. Meet all your souvenir obligations at Marcado Artesanal, where you can snag traditional Ecuadorian crafts from all over the country—our Guayaquil packages will leave you with plenty of cash to spend, so bring us back something, will you? Finally, if your feet are begging for a rest, Salinas and Genderal Vaillamil Playas are the two most popular beaches in the city. Get toasty on the sand or dive into the water to cool off!

Getting to & Around Guayaquil

Your doorway into Guayaquil is Jose Joaquin de Omedo International Airport (GYE). Many of the best Guayaquil hotels are near the Malecon Simon Bolivar, allowing you to walk right on over. If you need to catch a ride to another part of the city, you can take a rapid transit bus (the Metrovia), the slower and cheaper public bus or a taxi.
