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.
