Sortie rapide à vélo de Eloy Alfaro à Guayaquil

Hop on your bike in Durán and cruise west toward the heart of Guayaquil on this scenic 11 km route—perfect for a casual city spin! The ride is mostly flat, with barely 23 meters of gentle climbing, so it’s easy on the legs and ideal for beginners or anyone after a relaxed outing.

You’ll roll out of Durán, a lively Ecuadorian town known for its train station and bustling local markets. Soon, you’ll cross the legendary Guayas River (look out for photo ops!) on a mix of paved surfaces—mostly quiet roads and some bike-friendly paths. About half of the route’s surface is paved, but keep an eye out for those stretches where the paving type isn’t marked.

As you reach the vibrant streets of Guayaquil—Ecuador’s largest city and main port—the riverside Malecón and lively neighborhoods await. Whether you’re ending your ride with local street eats or taking in city sights, this short journey is a great way to link two of the region’s most iconic spots.
