🇪🇨 Quito & Guayaquil, two very different sides of Ecuador
If you’re travelling through Ecuador, Quito and Guayaquil give you two completely different experiences.
🏔️ Quito
High in the Andes, Quito is surrounded by mountains and has one of the best-preserved historic centres in South America.
⛪ Plaza Grande
🌋 TelefériQo for mountain views
⛪ La Compañía de Jesús
🌍 Mitad del Mundo, just outside the city
🌴 Guayaquil
Lower, warmer and much more tropical, Guayaquil feels completely different from Quito.
🌿 Parque Seminario — famous for its iguanas
🌊 Malecón 2000 along the Guayas River
🏘️ Las Peñas and its colourful houses
🌅 Cerro Santa Ana for views over the city
What I liked about travelling between the two is how quickly the landscape changes — from the high Andes to a warm coastal city.
Which would you choose: mountain views in Quito or the tropical feel of Guayaquil? 🇪🇨
