The gardens run along the Malecon are positioned perfectly to provide shade and places to sit and just reflect on the nice weather. Only drawback is the noise and exhaust fumes from the parallel street. The display of flowers and plants is colorful and varied as anything we have ever seen. They are well tended by their gardeners. Expired blooms or leaves are few and far between. Being a camera bug I got many beautiful photos.

This lovely area runs parallel to the Malecon. A beautiful walk in the early morning or late afternoon. Landscaping is just perfection with an incredible array of trees, plants and flowers. Birds abound for those who appreciate our feathered friends.

Our tour guide took us to the Botanical Gardens. It offers a great introduction to the plants and animals found in Ecuador. Lots of interesting plants. We saw some unusual animals including a harpy eagle, tapir, sloth, raccoons and parrots. There is also an area where guides were showing how the workers lived compared to the owners of the farm. There are restroom facilities and snack trucks. The blackberry juice is very good.

If you like tropical plants and flowers, you would enjoy this garden as much as we do. We had a leisure day in the city and decide to check out this garden and totally enjoyed the experience.

This was one of the highlights of the trip. If you only have a short time, make sure you stop in. Early morning was the beys time, not many people around. Making it like your own private garden. AWSOME.

Guayaquil has a reputation for being unsafe. However, the botanical gardens and well cared for and a place that many of the locals visit. Apart, from the various plants, it has many species of animals and birds, which are native to Ecuador. The gardens are well kept, many of which may be viewed from a raised walkway. The Orchid Houses are of particular interest. Well worth a visit, if you are in that part of Guayaquil.

Was so lovely we could have spent hours there. It's a "must see" in Guayaquil. Plenty of romantic corners.

We were so excited to see these botanical gardens. There were so many mosquitos and the place was a bit muddy. There were some nice animals and nice plants. However, I don't think it was worth the expensive taxi right there.
