Guayaquil - Post Report Question and Answers
Knowing what you know now, would you still move to this city?
MOST CERTAINLY! There is plenty to do here and within a half day drive. This is the best traffic I have seen in Latin America. It is NOT the US (rules are suggestions, not requirements) but the flow of traffic for a big city is quite good. Good roads, wide lanes, nice lighting... I cannot complain. As in anywhere, it takes a little longer during rush hours. Our commute to work is about 15 minutes door to door. - Aug 2022
Definitely not. It's dangerous, there's very little to do, and work is chaotic and getting worse. - Jun 2022
Yes, I really like Guayaquil. - Oct 2020
It's not at the top of my list, but it wouldn't be the worst thing. I would rather live in Cuenca or Quito, but thankfully Guayaquil isn't that far from either. - Feb 2019
Absolutely not. - Jun 2013
No. - May 2013
It was a great experience; I'm better for it; I met some amazing people; I had a great traveling around the countryside and working with the people here; but I don't plan to return anytime soon. - Jan 2012
No. The city is boring and too much politics for a small post. I must say the locals I met were all very nice people and they seem to like Americans. However, there are too many crazy drivers on the road-- basically, anything goes and they don't care about safety. - Jan 2012
Yes, if you expectations are realistic, you won't be disappointed. - Aug 2011
