Guayaquil

Visit the commercial capital Guayaquil. This is the main commercial centre and the biggest port city of Ecuador. With sprawling malls, well-maintained tourist spots and excellent restaurants, this is indeed the more favoured of the two cities between Quito and Guayaquil. Although it is an unfair comparison, the things not to miss in the town on the banks of river Guayas are the artisanal market and botanical garden. The city is very well connected with all the major capitals of the world with daily non-stop flights. Be part of safe, fun and active nightlife with loud music, beer and people who gather here from every possible corner of the earth for work or pleasure. With around a dozen malls already in place and more being constructed, this is indeed a shopper’s paradise. There are many flea markets and street artisan markets where you can test your bargaining skills and buy some intricately made souvenirs.
