Guayaquil, Ecuador’s largest city, is a major economic and cultural center located on the banks of the Río Guayas, near the Pacific Ocean. Founded in 1547, it has a rich history shaped by its commercial role since the colonial era, as well as revolutions and its independence achieved in 1820. Its name may originate from indigenous legends or the chieftain Guayaquile. Today, Guayaquil stands out for its dynamic port, vital for the country’s exports and imports, and its vibrant urban life, serving as a key point in Ecuador’s development. Wikipedia
