I am back to Guayaquil after many years (over 15 years) and this city has improved, it is cleaner and you can tell that they want to attract more tourists, I am into nature and the highlight of my trip was visiting the “Parque de las Iguanas”

1/5 - Terrible

Verified traveller

Stayed in Guayaquil as a stopover on the way to Galapagos. Should have made it a one night stop, the air pollution is awful. Old diesel cars spewing out fumes in 30 deg, I won’t be going back !
