Nightlife

Of course, Guayaquil presents a tourist many things to watch and enjoy during day: historic structures and neighborhood, well laid out and spacious parks, museums and many other attractions. But, if you shall probe a little deep, you may discover that Guayaquil has more to offer during the night as compared to the day. To enjoy the gaiety of nightlife in Guayaquil one should be a little careful. Once you are determined to enjoy the nightlife of Guayaquil, you would find that it is really "notorious for providing its visitors with more action after dark than during days". With the darkness, the place registers a change and its ambience becomes one of festivity and gaiety, coupled with an exotic and typical tropical attraction. There are discos and pubs competing with each other to offer the visitors so many things from dusk to dawn.
