Guayaquil

With more than 400 years old, Las Peñas was the first neighborhood of Guayaquil, which took its name from the cliffs and limestone rocks that formed the Hill back then when the Spanish settled in the XV century. In 1982 the neighborhood was declared Cultural Heritage of Ecuador.

The property was very clean and well maintained. Lots of security. The building is on the riverfront with many excellent restaurants within a few steps. Vibrant night life which was unfortunately very noisy when trying to sleep. Within walking distance to many attractions.
