What you will visit:
Historical Park Guayaquil
Three distinct and equally fascinating zones comprise the Historical Park. The first is the wildlife zone, dedicated to the rich diversity of flora and fauna of the Guayaquil area and accessed through a raised path to leave the natural wonders undisturbed. The second is the urban architecture area, devoted to the flourishing urban history of Guayaquil. The last zone, the traditions area, focuses on the rituals and lives of the region's rural communities. Live performances are enacted throughout the lush grounds.
What you will see along the way:

On your return to port, relax and watch the sights of Guayaquil go by. This glorious town, located on the banks of the Guayas River at the Gulf of Guayaquil, was founded in 1548 by Spanish conquistadors in what was once a sleepy native village. The city stretches back from the gulf's Simon Bolivar Pier. The dazzling Malecon, which follows the river for about 2.5 kilometers, was the subject of a dedicated urban renewal project and now serves as the city center, with many historical monuments to be discovered in the vibrant stretch of restaurants, gardens, museums and shops.
