Guayaquil Ecuador and Cerro Santa Ana







The 450+ numbered stairs that lead up to the top of Cerro Santa Ana will definitely give you a workout but it's really worth the climb. This attraction is a former barrio that has undergone a tremendous facelift. Now it has been made beautiful by bright and vivid colors that were used to decorate the various joined business and homes all the way up to the top. At the very top is a small church that sits atop what must be one of the best lookouts in the entire city and a great place to catch your breath.
On the way back down you'll have great views of the muddy Guayas River to your left and the business district straight ahead to the right. The Malecon (boardwalk) at the bottom stretches along the river and offers sailboats a dock and visitors plenty of entertainment including a movie theatre, memorials, restaurants, and lots of great local culture.
