When you want romantics and exotic, you can go to Ecuador, what we did. We transferred to the Pearl of Ecuador City Guayaquil. Indeed, the city is filled with exotic and at the same time there is a romance. It turns out the name of the city consists of a merger of two names. The legend states that the Indian leader Guayas and his wife Kiel were killed in this place with Spanish conquisites. However, others believe that the name of the city gave the Guayas River, on the shores of which it is built. And how many stories about the pirates here are transmitted from lowned to generation. When you do to the city, be sure to visit the Bar in the old town, which is located in the nasal part of the legendary Spanish ship "Jesus-Maria de la Pura-and-Lymbia-Concepcion de Noureast Senora". This ship was built by the Spaniards in 1641-1644. And before this, stroll to the "bay" market. This is a legal smuggling market. Well, where are you still going?
In the old district of Las-Penas, narrow streets and houses of the Konkistador era and the founding of the city are still preserved. There is also a staircase consisting of 444 steps. She leads to the lighthouse, near which popular cafes and restaurants are concentrated. The most romantic place is Santa Anna Hill. From his top offers a stunning view of the underlying city. Being on the hill you need to visit Iguan Park. Very suitable for reptile lovers. Just need to capture a bunch of bananas to feed the hand-held iguan there.
Another beautiful place in the city is Malecon Boulevard. 2.5 km of beauty consisting of fountains, squares and parks. The Central Embankment Simon Bolivar is also a beautiful and popular place. But it's all for good walking around the city.
For exotic, it is better to visit the historic Park Guayaquil. Only here you can see the wild nature and life of Ecuadorians of the 19th century and colorful costumed scenes from the life of the city's residents, as well as copies of the most beautiful and significant Guayaquil buildings. In the park you can see a huge collection of live butterflies, including huge Mahar. As well as spider-like monkeys, a variety of parrots.
And be sure to swim and sunbathe on the magnificent beaches of the city.
