I walked the kilometers long Malecon 2000 from one end to the other. Malecon is the safest neighbourhood in the most dangerous city of Ecuador, I saw a lot of guards.

Guayaquil bus station has 114 platforms ja 78 ticket counters. I went to the centre by Metrovia bus (0,25 USD), Metrovia station is located close to the the bus station on the other side of the road.

I spent one night in Guayaquil, I took the first cheap hotel with wifi that I saw in the centre (12 USD). Hotel Jira was in Captain Navara street, but Google Maps doesn’t have the street at all! Nokia Maps found the street.
