It is also the industrial center, major foreign trade port and railway, highway and aviation hub of Ecuador.
Guayaquil is close to Guayaquil Bay in the Pacific Ocean, so it is named because it is located on the west bank of Guayas River. Known as the "Pearl of the Pacific Ocean", it is the largest city and major seaport in Ecuador, the capital of Guayas province, and the industrial and fishery center of Ecuador.
Guayas River is about 360 kilometers long, with a drainage area of about 40,000 square kilometers, which has low shipping value, but Guayaquil is indeed an excellent seaport.
Guayaquil is located in Guayaquil Bay, which has less wind and waves, is suitable for ship berthing and has good deep water conditions. Guayaquil Port is the largest seaport in Ecuador, a national railway, highway and air transportation center, and a comprehensive transportation hub with excellent transportation location.
On this basis, Guayaquil develops related industries and fisheries, is the main industrial center of Ecuador, and is known as the "Pearl of the Pacific Ocean".
Because Ecuador is located near the equator, except for the high altitude area of the Andes, the rest areas belong to the tropical climate with high temperature all year round, and tropical cash crops are the main planting objects of its agriculture.
