For those of you who have air tickets through the city of Guayquil or if you want to avoid the higher elevations of Quito and the Andes region, we offer the package below. This package is designed to give you some time before the cruise so as to make sure you do not miss your Galapagos flight (in case your international flight is delayed or if you have baggage problems). At the same time it insures you are taken care of from the moment you arrive to Ecuador until you depart for home, while providing the opportunity to enjoy the Port City of Guayaquil and its wonderful history..

DAY 2
Full Day Guayaquil City Tour / Overnight at hotel of choice

After a relexed breakfast we set out for our tour of Guayaquil, known locally as "The Pearl of the Pacific". A complete tour of the city combines the historic Las Peñas neighborhood and the Malecon 2000. Las Peñas is a brightly painted neighborhood that has been home to many of Ecuador’s historic figures including presidents and poets. Many of the houses have been converted to a number of small restaurants, bars, and boutiques, all which can be reached by climbing a series of steps traveling up the hillside.  Near the top we visit the Fort of the Hill cannons from the fort were used to protect the city from pirates or reaching the top the lighthouse offers a great view of the river and the city.

Lunch is on your own at Malecon 2000, which we will visit in the afternoon. A restoration project of the Simon Bolivar Pier, the Malecon 2000 is modern in design and a popular destination for both locals and international travelers.  This 1.5 mile walk (for pedestrians only) along the Guayas River offers a variety of shopping and dinning experiences mixed together with family friendly activities including remote control boats, playgrounds, exercise areas.

Late in the afternoon you will be transfered back to your hotel. (B)
