We went to Malecon 2000 on a long layover. We went to the Parque Historico first and then took a $5 taxi ride to this fantastic waterfront for about 3.5 hours. its a very nice long walk along the water. There are fast food stalls, a covered mall with AC, a garden, small arcade, boat rides and an Imax theatre.... More

This is a great place to visit when coming to Guayaquil. It is a very long park where you can walk and you will find several restaurants, bars, cafes and at the end of it you will get to a museum and Imax before getting to the Cerro Santa Ana. It is a must do when coming to Guayaquil

I enjoy sitting on the top deck of the restaurant along the malecon that resembles a boat. The view to Rio Guayas is interesting.

We saw people walking around whole families walking hand in hand, kids, young lovers. Wish I had more time to spend

We were there on the weekend, so to be expected, it was crowded. We had hoped to pick up some last minute gifts, and were disappointed that there were extremely few stores and essentialy it is a major boardwalk......but a well planned and well kept one with quite good views.

The riverwalk is well done, with benches, parks, viewpoints and sporadic vendors and shops. Landscaping is nice, security is present and the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. This... More

There were lots of security all along the Malecon and I felt quite safe. I mean, I'm not going to let my guard down and be stupid, but this is a place you can enjoy. The walkways are large, there are interesting park-like settings, fountains, statues, and always the river the watch. There is some interesting bird life if you... More

This is my second time in Guayaquil, and I love the Malecon 2000, is a huge promenade, where you can walk around, and, time to time, find some attractions, as the Handcraft Stores, The Crystal Palace (sometimes empty), The Malecon Shopping Center, Morish Tower, IMAX Cinema, and so on. The thing is, that during the week it seems that the... More

The Malecon is a great place to walk and run. Our only complaint: no dogs allowed, even on leashes. Many interesting monuments and nice playgrounds. It was nice to see it being heavily used!
