Guayaquil is Ecuador's largest city and its main port, serving as the commercial gateway to the country. Located on the banks of the Guayas River, the city has undergone a major revitalization in recent years, particularly along its waterfront promenade, the Malecón 2000. This area features parks, museums, and shopping, ending at the colorful historic neighborhood of Las Peñas on Santa Ana Hill. Guayaquil is also the primary jumping-off point for trips to the Galápagos Islands. The city is known for its tropical climate, lively seafood markets, and the unusual Iguana Park, where dozens of friendly iguanas roam freely. It is a bustling, energetic city with a warm coastal vibe.
