LAS PEÑAS NEIGHBORHOOD

Las Peñas neighborhood is a colorful colonial place located next to the Guayas River in
Guayaquil. Located at the end of the Malecón 2000, in the Santa Ana Hill. Tourists walk
through the stairs of Las Peñas to a nice viewpoint with a lighthouse; where they can see a
panoramic view of Guayaquil. The way up is great to take amazing pictures or to eat a
traditional dish in one of the houses that serve as restaurants.
“Las Peñas” is one of Guayaquil’s first neighborhoods and home of presidents, historians,
painters, writers and various other noteworthy figures in Ecuadorian history, such as the
musician Antonio Neumane, the composer of the Ecuadorian National Anthem, and General
Eloy Alfaro, one of Ecuador’s greatest presidents.
