Guayaquil is the biggest and most populated city in Ecuador. It's situated on the western bank of the Guayas River, which empties into the Pacific Ocean at the Gulf of Guayaquil. The weather is typically hot and humid. Guayaquil is a very modern city and serves as the country's primary port. The oldest part of Guayaquil, Las Peñas, has been renovated into a charming neighborhood filled with art galleries, cafes, shops, bars, and restaurants. Las Peñas neighborhood is located on Cerro Santa Anna. It's a scenic neighborhood filled with colorful colonial houses. At the top of the hill, there's a lighthouse that offers stunning views of Guayaquil. The city's most famous landmark is the Malecon 2000, located on the Rio Guayas. The Malecon 2000 is a lengthy boardwalk along the river that's beautiful and packed with entertainment. In the center of the Malecon, there's "La Rotonda", a remarkable monument that commemorates the historic meeting between Simon Bolivar and Jose de San Martin to discuss independence. Other places worth visiting include Malecon Salado, Parque Historico, Cerro Blanco, and the Botanical Gardens. Guayaquil is a lively, sprawling city known as the "Pacific Pearl" due to its natural beauty and stunning surroundings.
