Guayaquil is the largest city of Ecuador. Eventhough it is one of the two cities in Ecuador with an international airport, not many tourists tend to stay in the harbour city for longer than they have to. Over the years Guayaquil has been considered an ugly and dangerous city, not exactly the type of place to enjoy your holiday. However, the past two or three years the Guayaquilenos have made Guayaquil a nice to place to visit. It's still a bit rough around the edges, but some of the areas downtown have been cleaned up and are worth a visit. The new Malecon 2000, a promenade with lots of touristy stuff and the nearby old neighborhood Las Penas make for a great way to spend a day. Just outside of Guayaquil are several national parks, which are hardly ever visited by tourists, but worth your while. For those looking to party, Guayaquil may very well be the best place in Ecuador. Eventhough drinks are slightly more expensive than in other areas of the country, Guayaquil has some cool clubs and pleasant bars to spend an evening (or late night). Places to stay and eatType of accommodation:Budget: Mid range: High Range: Restaurants: Guayaquil is the largest city of Ecuador and is starting to have more places to go out and enjoy a nice meal. There are places to eat everywhere. You are at the coast, so make sure to enjoy some of the fresh seafood in Guayaquil.ServicesInternet Access•Religious services•Bank / ATM•Travel Agency•Airport•BusterminalHow to get thereGuayaquil is a major transportation hub for Ecuador. The busterminal and airport are close to eachother, which makes a quick transfer possible for travellers. The new busterminal is huge, but easy to get around. You can find the right bus by searching for your destination on the big board near the entrance of the terminal or by walking around the long lines of ticket offices. Compare prices and departure times. They may vary.Getting into town is a bit tricky if you are not familiar with the complex bus system. Take a taxi to the center or most other locations. The area nearby the busterminal is not safe. EventsCurrent Events in Guayas

Improvements have been made. A good place to taste the culture of Ecuador. Airport requires much patience, arriving and leaving. I have visited 51 countries in the world and the airport is in great need or organization.
