The city tour in Guayaquil consists of various panoramic visits and walks through the city. A first stop will be done at the Administration Plaza, around which you will observe the City Hall, the Monument Sucre and finally the Seminario Park, also known as the Iguana Park.

Later on, the bus will take us to the Southern Malecon 2000 where you will appreciate the Integration Plaza with its famous Southern Marketplace or Cristal Palace and then connect to the Olmedo Plaza which is very important for its monument to Jose Joaquin Olmedo, who was a recognized poet of Guayaquil and the ex president of the Republic.

Our third stop (the longest one) will allow us to see different important monument of the history of the city from the Morisca Tower. Among them is the monument of the 4 elements of the Planet. Then we will walk toward the Rotonda Monument with the statues of Simon Bolivar and San Martin. We will proceed, in a panoramic way, to visit the rest of the Malecon 2000 with its restaurants and recreation places for children. Optionally, you can visit the garden area of the Malecon in which many tropical plants such as teca, guaba, mango, helechos, bromelias, ficus, almendra, etc. can be seen.

After the visit of the Malecon, the bus will take us to the neighbourhood of the Peñas. This is the oldest part of the city, and you will have the opportunity to climb the numerous steps to the Cerro Santa Ana where you will see amazing views of Guayaquil and the river Guayas from high above.

Finally, we will end our tour at the Flower Marketplace with its colourful variety of flowers.
