South over the Andes

Mi hermano más joven.

Renegade air passengers and five stars for us

Hello Ecuador!
This is a top pick! ... We left Peru a couple of days ago on the bus. We heard lots of horror stories about the border crossing from Peru to Ecuador, but actually we had aboslutely no trouble at all. Apart from the grumpy immigration officer doing his best to stamp my passport ...

Goodbye Ecuador - Great Time
This is a top pick! ... see it because we were still miles (literally) above the clouds. We descended over 4000 metres to the tropical (steaming) port of Guayaquil. There were once parts of this port where even Ecuadorians would not have dared visit. As our guide said "they ...
Guayaquil Shopping you would not believe!
This is a top pick! ... I said that all the stuff in the bag was for the locals! so they let us off... Friendly people. We only had 1 full day in Guayaquil due to the Spanish course in Mendoza but wish we had more. It is not really on the tourists "Gringo Trail". We will be ...
Guayaquil
This is a top pick! Alex: Well after the missed flight debacle we finally made it to Guayaquil. This is the biggest city in Ecuador and generally not very highly rated by travellers but it is the commercial centre, which suited us as we needed to replace our camera and find ...
Travelling South through Ecuador
This is a top pick! ... the bus terminal was light, airy, large – just like our shopping malls, the taxi cheap and efficient, the hotel welcoming. Guayaquil is such a different place – clean, well laid out, no belching buses, a wide tree-lined promenade by the river ...
Otavalo, Quito, Baños, Riobamba, Guayaquil
This is a top pick! ... on the roof. After the train ride finished in Alausi, we caught a bus up and over a high mountain range which took us above the clouds, and down into the tropical climate around Guayaquil, for a quick overnight stop, before our flight to the ...
It's HOT in Guayaquil!!
... , it is manic and fierce. Today is 30 degree C. I head out to 9 October street. This is downtown Guayaquil. It's chaotic! People are streaming around everywhere. I'm yet to be propositioned, but I'm fully alert to my surroundings! For this ...

Apres les plages, direction Guayaquil, 2nde ville en taille et plus important centre economique d'Equateur. Il n'y a que tres peu d'interet a rester ici trop longemps. De toutes facons, je pars pour les Galapagos dans 2 jours. Juste le temps de mettre un ...
Last day in Guayaquil :(
Today was my last day in Guayaquil... booo.. tomorrow I'm off to Riobamba, a bit North in the mountains... Apparently it takes about 5 or 6 hours (tops?) so I'm thinking of leaving nice and early so that I don't arrive too late. I'll also be ...
The unexpected stop over
... (Sonia) she is taking me for a tour of the city and then I will stay at her house tonight. My first impression of Guayaquil wasnt that great, its just another big city with lots of people, smelly cars and loud horns. However Sonia managed to take ...
Guayaquil - not worth it
This is an entry more for the sake of getting another map pin (I like the map pins). Guayaquil was not that great. Its an ok city (or even quite a niceish city) but the people are not nearly as friendly as they are elsewhere in Ecuador. Its hot and ...
Malecon and that´s about it
... , I had some trouble finding a place to stay. Decent and cheap accomodations aren´t high up on the list of prioritíes for Guayaquil, so I ended up seeping on the couch of the office for $5. But it´s what I had to do as they were all booked ...
A little bit of what you fancy does you good
... the long distance bus, a snip at $80 all in. Arrangements as they were, this meant taking a 10 hour bus from Quito to Guayaquil (Ecuador´s largest city) and then a 24 hour bus down to Lima. Not relishing the prospect of sitting on a bus with 100 random ...

Guayaquil
Another dodgy bus journey to Guayaquil (5Hrs) over rough dirt roads, with dodging landslides every 10mins and getting off for the police control check whereby everyone was lined up and searched head to toe. Arriving at the smartest bus station we had ever ...
Worst.City.Ever.
... tourists. I suppose that’s a sure sign that a city is really messed up. But, since Guayaquil is the largest city in Ecuador, the social divide between rich and poor is probably significant. The other thing about Guayaquil (maybe in other ...
Day 38
... a lot less logistics anyway. We went back to the library for the Lonely Planet guide and found the botanical gardens outside Guayaquil and Stephanie thought seeing something beautiful might do the trick. We planned to give that a try the next day, and ...
A so-so stop in this gritty city
Though I have passed through Guayaquil a few times (airport/bus station), I never gave the place a chance or checked out the sights. So this time I did....and though there isn't much to it, it is worth a day or so.....though at night, this is one scary ...
La Route des Volcans, Cuenca et Guayaquil En - Fr
... , le « cuy » (un cochon d'Inde rôti entier). Même Seb n'a pas été tenté par une patte de hamster ! Guayaquil est notre dernière escale avant notre croisière aux Galápagos. Le 30 avril, nous apprenons la naissance de la petite Camille, qu'on ...
