Luxury holidays in Guayas Province

When to go

Temperatures in the Guayas Province peak in April, but cool off after that, making May to December the time to aim for.

Getting there

• Planes

  The region is served by Guayaquil Airport (also known as José Joaquín de Olmedo), which is about an hour’s flight from capital Quito. This is also a jumping-off point for touring the Galápagos Islands, just a two-hour flight away.

• Automobiles

  Self-driving over here requires a slightly greater degree of confidence, but can be done – if leaving the city limits, watch out for lesser-maintained rustic roads and take extra care when driving at night (or avoid where possible).
