10 Monuments & Statues in Guayaquil That You Shouldn't Miss
Founded in the 1530s, Ecuador's largest city and main port is the top access point for Galapagos cruises and home to a bustling import-export business. Tourism is on the rise as well, thanks to a new international airport and urban renewal projects along the River Guayas promenade and in the historic neighborhood of Las Peñas. The 465-step climb to the top of Santa Ana Hill provides sweeping views and a chance to stand on the site of the city's birthplace.

Last Friday I visited Monument to the Sacred Heart of Jesus with my boyfriend and 2 other friends, we arrived at 3am, after the friends party, this place is amazing, with a beautiful view, it is located on the Ascending street to El Carmen Hill, next to the Julian Coronel and Loja Streets. This place has as a complement to the monument to the Sacred Heart of Jesus (symbol of the city), 166 stairs were built to access Christ statue. The bas-reliefs of the fourteen stations of de Via Crucis (The Way of the Cross) can be appreciated in the stairways. The security was excellent, the guards were very attentive. The bad point was the street, because it didn’t have a good signage, and didn’t have good lighting. We took many great photos. I have visited the monument 3 times and all the times I have felt peace and love being there.

This is one of two sculptures we saw by the same artist. Amazing work. Hard to get to because of its position in the middle of traffic.
