Malecon 2000
Find entertainment, culture and nature on this 2.5 km waterfront walk! Malecon 2000, also known as Malecon Simon Boulevard, includes monuments, museums, gardens, fountains, shopping malls, restaurants, bars, an IMAX theater, as well as docks and viewpoints.

Malecon 2000 is the largest architectural development in the last century of Guayaquil’s history (total surface is 20 hectares). It runs from Cuenca Street on the south of the city, all the way to "Barrio Las Penas" on the north. Your walk up the Malecon 2000 will take you through three sections:

Southern Part
The old market is found in this section. It was inaugurated in 1907, and its authorship is attributed to the famous French engineer Eiffel. This section also holds the "Club de la Union", the most traditional social center in Guayaquil. Next you will run into the Olmedo Plaza, where a monument of José Joaquín de Olmedo, a famous poet from Guayaquil, President of Ecuador in the XIX century, is found. To conclude your visit through this section, visit the impressive modern architecture of the new Bahía Malecon Shopping Center, with its terrace of restaurants that offers a spectacular view of the Guayas River.

Central Part
This section is mostly historical. It holds the Civic Plaza (10 de Agosto and P. Ycaza St.) with a gallery dedicated to the most outstanding personalities in Guayaquil’s history. You can also admire other monuments:

Hemiciclo de la Rotonda
This historical monument is a spectacular semicircle commemorating the meeting of two Latin American liberators, Simon Bolivar and San Martin, when it was decided that Guayaquil be annexed to the Gran Colombia. The monument was designed and made by the Spanish sculptor Jose Antonio Homs and placed in 1937. From this historical site you can see the Guayaquil - Duran Bridge (the largest in our country).

Moorish or Clock Tower
The clock was bought in England thanks to a loan given by Don Manuel Antonio Lizarraga, a rich Spanish merchant, one of the illustrious figures of the Independence. The clock was inaugurated on October of 1842 just after the terrible epidemic yellow fever in Guayaquil, the worst in its history. In 1903, the clock was moved, tower and all, from City Hall that was demolished to Town Hall. However, from this location, the tolls that announced the hour could not be heard throughout the city, so two stories were built on to the tower.
In 1920, the Italian engineer N. Bordeline built a tower of three prismatic parts entirely made of carved wood. Finally, due to structural flaws, this tower had to be demolished. At this time, the foreign colony residing in Guayaquil together with the City Council made the construction of the tower in a pure Mozarabic Style.

Also in this section are: four sculptures that represent the elements of nature: air, water, fire and earth, the Guayaquil Yatch Club and the Naval Yatch Club.

Northern Part
Access: from the South by the Civic Plaza, another entrance is on the Francisco de Orellana St, and finally the northernmost entrance close to Barrio Las Penas.

This section has space for sports, entertainment, science, history and art. Children’s games, space for aerobics and skating, all these surrounded by the historical Plaza de Orellana, Plaza de la Pileta (water fountain) and Plaza del Vagon, with a wagon of the antique Ecuadorian train. There are also a planetarium, gardens that hold diverse plant species of the Ecuadorian coast, an Anthropological Museum and a Contemporary Art Museum.
