Malecon 2000 is a huge project undertaking by the Municipality of Guayaquil to improve its waterfront along the River Guayas.

Starting at the foot of Las Peñas, the hill with the painted houses, it runs several kilometers along the river, blending in new architectural buildings with old colonial houses.

Restaurants, Food marts and an IMAX theater are features of the malecon.

A small botanical garden with tropical flowers grace parts of the walk.

The famous clock tower and an old sailing ship are some more of the attractions awaiting visitors.

Areas to rest and sit are provided throughout the boardwalk.

Monuments are very popular in Ecuador and are not to be missed from the Malecon.

Artists, working in the public, give the whole complex life and entertainment to the visitors

This rebuilt metal building marks the end of the Malecon.
