Introduction
Guayaquil is Ecuador's largest city and is located on the coast. It used to have a bad reputation, but is now much safer than it used to be though you should still exercise caution.
The locals speak fast and have a very strong accent, which can be a challenge if you're still just learning Spanish.

Taxi drivers do not use their meters. As soon as they see a foreign face, they try to overcharge you. Make sure you ask at your hotel what the cost should be for your journey, and haggle with the taxi driver to agree a price before you start the journey.
