Cerro Santa Ana
Cerro Santa Ana (northern end of Malecón Simón Bolívar, Guayaquil) – for those passing through the coastal city of Guayaquil, this historic district is hard not to notice. The colorful wooden houses that dot this hilly area make this one of the prettiest parts of this city. If you come across cannons while visiting this area, they were once put to use (especially during the 17th century) to ward off pirates. Nowadays, this are has a mix of restaurants, bars, art galleries, and shops, along with residential housing. At the foot of Cerro Santa Ana is the neighborhood of Las Peñas (another restored district).
