Guayaquil - Post Report Question and Answers

Is this a good city for single people? For couples? For families? Why or why not?

Although I am not single, I imagine it would be harder to be here unless you are an extravert. Women also have an additional challenge as they do in most all cultures (safety). Couples have great opportunities. Families seem to do well here too. You make your life like you want it. - Aug 2022


Couples and families. - Jun 2022


For families and couples, yes. For single people it might be a little slow/boring. - Oct 2020


There are pros and cons for everyone. - Feb 2019


I think for singles it can be entertaining. For families there isn't much to do here but hang out with other families at barbecues and social activities sponsored by the consulate. It all depends on what the family wants with their activities, because there isn't anything to do here in Guayaquil - you'll see all there is to see in a few weeks, and then it becomes redundant and boring. - Jun 2013


Depends, some love it, some hate it. Expat morale not very good. - May 2013


It can be good for anyone who likes to travel a lot and see the country. There are very happy and very disgruntled members of the expat community; some love it and others don't. But I suppose that is any city! - Jan 2012


For singles, better for men than for women. - Aug 2011
