regeneration. The pedestrian area highlights culutural monuments, gardens with fountains,
shopping opportunities, a boat dock, IMAX theaters, food courts, and more.

Iguanas, the breathtaking 17th century park houses the provoking Palace of Guayaquil

2. Drive Over the Sparkling Velero Bridge
The sparkling Ecuadorian waterfront city of Guayaquil provides ample opportunities to capture
the scenic city reflected in the surrounding waterways.
One site that shouldn’t be missed is the Velero Bridge referred to locally as Puente El Velero.
Particularly picturesque after dark, a blue web of light stretches over the water resembling the
beacon of a sailboat drifting in the Guayas River.
The two best ways to see the Velero Bridge are by driving over it through Barcelona Ave
or from the boardwalk along Malecon del Salado.

1. Stay the Night in Ecuador’s Central Park; Guayaquil Historical Park
Considered one of Guayaquil best secrets, the mystical Parque del Historico in Guayaquil
offers a delightful connection to history and nauture, right in the heart of the city.
For those with only enough time to visit one place in the city, this is the locale that takes
precedence over all others. The 19-acre Eden is a natural preserve effectively protecting both
the inherent local culture and the endemic animals of the Guayaquil region.
The experience is a true step back in time where visitors can relish the splendors of the old age
while commencing in the native habitats of rare and endangered Ecuadorian species.
A lucky few can even rest their heads for the night among the luxurious suites of the park’s
restored colonial mansion, Hotel del Parque, awarded as the best hotel in Ecuador.
