malecón 2000

• 17 comments •


Besides being a gateway to the Galapagos Islands, Guayaquil is also the major port of the Guayas River. Despite sounding like a robot from a bad 60's sci-fi movie, the Malecón 2000 is an extensive boardwalk built along the river, featuring shopping malls, museums, and other attractions.






Guayaquil isn't normally on the tourist radar, it usually gets skipped in favour of Quito, but the boardwalk, parks, and restaurants make the city interesting enough to explore for a few days.
