SANTIAGO DE GUAYAQUIL: back to the Pacific Ocean

Current location: click here

Santiago de Guayaquil is Ecuador's largest and most populous (4 million inhabitants) city, and most important port at the same time. It is located is the western bank of the Guayas river, about 60km north of the Gulf of Guayaquil in the Pacific Ocean.
Guayaquil is not much of a touristic destination. It is however an important place for travelers going to the Galápagos islands, and that was the main reason for me to visit it.
