Guayaquil Hostels - Reviews and Rates

One Crazy Night This morning Brian and I woke up and started one of the craziest days we have experienced here in Ecuador . It was day of ups and downs (in more than one sense). Maybe it was foreshadowed to be a crazy day by the establishment of being a day of total intoxication... all day, all night. The craziness all started at lunch. There w...

Guayaquil was a bit like an American film set! Another place that we seemed to walk up and down the same street in and not get very far - except from when we were walking round in circles trying to escape from a man who was follwing us in the park... he was eventually escorted roughly out of the park by 2 security guards! We spent the whole day ...

Les iles enchantées des Galápagos... C'était merveilleux. Une expérience fabuleuse, le genre de choses qu'on ne revivra sans doute pas. Parce que l'endroit est magique, par ce que les animaux y sont si faciles d'accès, et parce que en croisière, tout semble tellement simple. Les Galápagos, ce ne sont pas que des iles dispersées dans l'océan, com...

Paris, 4 octobre, 3h40, réveil, il s'agit de ne pas rater notre avion... Mais avant ce jour, il y en a quelques autres à préparer, rêver ce voyage. A 3, dans 3 pays différents, l'organisation n'est pas toujours simple, mais finalement de quoi avons-nous besoin? Premièrement, d'un bon sac à dos, ça parait rien comme ça, mais on risque de l'avoir ...

Someone let the iguanas loose in an urban park located in the middle of a bustling city. And not just five or ten; we're talking twenty+, in numerous sizes, shapes and colors, slithering all over the concrete, the side of the fences, on the trees. Its eye-popping to see people walk around them as if they are not even there. We wonder how the igu...

After spending my first week in Salinas--eating all our favorite dishes (including the delicious "arroz marinero" after which Maret got shellfish poisoning for first time!), delivering gifts to friends and family, playing volleyball (and winning a mini-tournament on Saturday), and spending time with good friends and Juan's family, we travelled t...

Shipping a car from Panama to Ecuador This is really for other car travelers and everything is quoted in US$. We shipped our Toyota forerunner in a container from Colon, Panama to Guayaquil, Ecuador. Our first choice was ro-ro (roll-on, roll-off on a car carrier from Japan) with NYK who drop off cars in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Columbia and Ecuado...

On our return to Guayaquil we stayed more centrally in the Grand Hotel. Tracey and I had a huge suite, into which all my rooms for the next week would probably fit. The dressing room was the size of the cabin on the boat we'd just been on. We also had a kitchen/lounge, balcony, 2TVs, 2 fridges (both sadly empty other than water) and even 2 basin...
