Oh man! What a great video about my city. I suggest Samborondón, Ceibos, Alborada and Miraflores (near to Urdesa), they are good too and have restaurants, parks and other attractions. And I wanted to recommend you to visit Panamá Street (Calle Panamá) located at the downtown, its perfect for a breakfast or lunch, there are good restaurants.
There's more to see an Guayaquil than I first thought. Next time, I will check out these areas.
Do they have pros in Guayaquil
Nice job. That airplane was loud. I only visited Quito but i met a girl headed to gayaguil then the galapagos to study birds
Thanks. Never been to Quito, but I've heard some good reviews.
Bro this is such a GOOD video I really hope it hits 100K views. I’m gonna be travelling again soon and Ecuador has been calling me all year long. This is gonna help a lot. I hope more countries in South America open up so you can visit. I’d like to see how Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay look especially from a Brotha’s perspective. Keep being great bro living the vids! 👊🏾
I appreciate the support and I'm glad the video helped👊🏿
Also Guayaquil have the BEST PORK SANDWICH omg I hope you ate that sanduche de chancho uff so yummy
Thanks for this video. Like all of your videos, this has been super informative and honest about the pros and cons of each neighborhood you visit.
My pleasure👍🏿
Very informative, thank you!
Thank you for sharing!
my man finally got the Playlist together! 🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate the tip💪🏿
Good advice, bro
Great video. Maybe one day.
I do advocate that first time travelers stay at the Wyndham in Puerto Santa Ana near the Malecon 2000. You showed it and the row of popular small restaurants early in the video. The hotel is very cheap compared to American prices and the buffet breakfast is very good. The hotel’s own restaurant is very good, but cheaper options are just steps away. After, a short walk on the northern end of the Malecon is nice and safe. I don’t recommend an evening walk up to El Farro (the lighthouse lookout, I may have spelled it wrong). It is a better afternoon walk up the 400+ steps. There are a lot of small bars there, but unless you’re with a group that includes locals, not at night. Sure, grab a beer for the walk up or down, but don’t hang out there. Try the sky tram instead in the day or evening, it’s cheap and a great view. You can ride it like a loop. I’ll be back there in four weeks.
Are there any property sites which show the choice of real estate in Malecon? Plus it it generally hot and cloud-covered or do you see blue skies occasionally?
@@stevebbuk, I’ve experience both the overcast days and the sunny days in Guayaquil. It’s generally hot and depending on the month, it can be humid. Have sunscreen handy if you tend to burn. This is a good idea everywhere in Ecuador. Yes, there are sites you can find through google, but they aren’t the best to me. I think they tend to rate higher prices because the audience of those pages is American. The average minimum salary per month is just $450. If you see a fairly average 2 bedroom apartment on an English language site charging upwards and beyond $500/month, I would be skeptical. There could be some cause: gated community, a more upscale part of town, etc, but that’s less likely.
@@stevebbuk, I forgot to include, I’m no expert on Guayaquil. I have been there many times, my wife lives there for now (waiting on paperwork), and I’ve been around to several areas of the country and of this huge city itself. But learning all the ins and outs takes time.
@@andrewsmith9174 Hi Andrew thanks for the replies. I'm torn between Guayaquil and a couple of places in Argentina, which frankly does seem to have a bit more culture and be more Europe-oriented. I am worried about crime as a prospective retiree though have less ambition and material needs as I used to have. I want a place to settle down rather than explore so Malecon is definitely on the shortlist.
@@stevebbuk, depending on your time frame to retirement, a lot can change. I have zero experience with Argentina. I can only speak of personal experience. I still don’t know all the specific “no go” areas of Guayaquil. I do know to stay away from the southern parts of the city. The Sauces neighborhoods are very blue collar and noisy, but full of accessible needs: little markets, shops, bakeries, etc. Urdessa is a bit of a better area and more expensive. Northern parts can have more exclusive neighborhoods, housing downtown would be like living in NYC with noise and gridlock traffic at some times, but you get close to the riverfront.
To be honest, if you want a place to be sort of low key and beach bum, maybe Cuenca or Manta is better for you. I don’t know too much about Cuenca, but it is smaller and has a more noticeable ex-pat population. I’m less worried of being in a city and I am a reasonably active person. So Guayaquil is my first choice, but I could look at other locations when retirement is due. I have ten years to wait. It’s best to go there and see how it is. I have a wife that lives there (we dated two years and married last Aug, waiting in paperwork now), so I’ve seen the normal live there and not the vacation living/tourist treatment. I speak reasonable conversational Spanish and my reading comprehension is getting better. I’m active in soccer and have played with people in all of South and Central America and the Caribbean, which gives me other advantages in breaking through some cultural barriers. I recommend as much research as you can.
Guayaquil es una metrópolis Fabulosa
high quality video..... most people spend 10 minutes BSing about nothing important and still don't hit on the important points you touched on (and succinctly too, without the baloney). the majority of other LATAM channels are for idiots if you ask me
my mom owns a house in Kennedy Norte that’s so true 😂
What about the radisson hotel?
Very, very, helpful information 👏🏾👏🏾🙂👍🏾I difinitely will save this video in my Ecuador folder. Question, if I was in Colombia looking for a nice neighborhood to live and rent I would ask " estrato 4 o 5 barrio". Same question in Ecuador or is the question asked differently? 🤔
Thanks and I believe the highest estrato in Medellín is a 6, so an estrato 5 or 4 is just fine. I'm not too familiar with the housing terminology in Ecuador.
No, here no is categorized for numbers just for high, medium or low estrato.
very informative ,why dont you show your face in the videos? that airport noise reminded me of when I had visited my brother in Arizona and the airport was like a few minutes away ,so I will not be staying in the Kennedy area thanks Sly :)
I’ve been one country behind Sly for a year now 😂 when he leaves one I go there… I guess Ecuador is next 🔥👌🏾
where your videos at bro? 😂
@@BLANK-wh7kh not everyone makes content when they travel. I don’t even post pics on socials.
@@ripadolphthorntonjr.2943 I know. it's a lot of work to be doing that!
😂....try the ceviche with a side of rice...It's very delicious.
Sly, I’m saving for a month long trip to South America. I’m leaning towards Medellín but I’m open to other options. Where would you stay if you only had 1 month and wanted to really live like a local?
Medellín is always a favorite for me especially for first-timers. People are friendly, cost of living is low, women are gorgeous, and there's an expat community here.
A question for you: I am currently in Guayaquil anf I have noticed most of the black Ecuadorians are very rude to me. I have had 2 black street juice vendors refuse to sell me juice. They turned their back to me and stepped away from the carts. Do you know what the issue is with these black Ecuadorians acting this way?
DId you get your jab man, lot of these places are getting stricter on entry requirements these days.
How much did it cost for the gym?
I have the "Plan Black" which allows me to go to any Smartfit in Latin America. I believe it's around $20.
