Experience Guayaquil
GASTRONOMY
Experience true bliss as you dine on one of the island's shorelines. Try a taste of the Galapagos at one of the fine restaurants serving only local ingredients. Transport your taste buds to heaven as you enjoy some of the best seafood of your life freshly picked from the clean, pristine waters. Dishes like ceviche, arroz marinero with mussels and shrimp, and encebollado made with yucca, onions, chiles, and albacore tuna are a few of the most popular dishes in Galapagos.
CULTURE
In the early 1900s, the cocoa boom led to the industrial development of this modern Ecuadorian metropolis. Today, you can find some of Ecuador's best museums showcasing the country’s rich culture as well as sites such as Guayaquil Historical Park where you can walk through and learn about the city’s history.
NATURE
Although one of Ecuador’s largest cities, Guayaquil offers travelers many green spaces to enjoy. The coastal city also has paths to walk along and take in the beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. Visitors to Guayaquil can enjoy the Reserva Ecologica Manglar Churute, an impressive mangrove swamp with monkeys and native birds in the area.

WHAT TO SEE AND DO
Ride La Perla South America’s tallest Ferris wheel is now in Guayaquil. La Perla (the pearl) has become one of the must-see places for locals and tourists who wander along the Malecón 2000 boardwalk next to the Guayas river. It has 36 cars decked with air conditioning, WiFi, and a panic button. The ride, whether by day or night, is always an adventure. Nevertheless, as night falls, it’s quite a spectacle to observe the Ferris wheel illuminated by its more than 1,400 LED lights. La Perla's 187 feet height is roughly similar to an eighteen-floor building. From this vantage point, visitors can admire the full splendor of nearby sites such as Santa Ana hill and the Malecón, as well as the city's tallest buildings, La Previsora and The Point.
