There's not much to do in Guayaquil - you walk the Malecon (20min), go to Las Penas (15min), iguana park, historic center.....and that is it.
We stayed in the city center and on the weekend we couldn't even find a place to eat. If you come to Ecuador - go to Galapagos or quito.

We stayed at the beach, so that is the only area I am able to review. Lovely, clean beach with a malecon and vendors for umbrellas and beach chairs. Beautiful view of harbor, many good restaurants, friendly and helpful people.

This is a very large city with lots of museums, churches, and other attractions. The Historical Centre is miles from either bus station and taxis will cost eight to ten dollars. Metered cabs are best for early morning trips when they can drive like mad. At other times it is best to set a fare before you get in. They will always ask more at first. The city is very hilly, with a high altitude, and too many vehicles and buses for its narrow streets. The pollution is terrible and can leave one gasping for breath after a short walk. Sundays are best for strolling, when many streets are car free. Watch for cars, which don’t yield even in crosswalks. Saw a cyclist smoked in a bike lane. New bus system and trolley buses are an improvement. Interesting city with lots of special events.

The whole city is UNESCO cultural heritage.
The whole city is UNESCO cultural heritage. Beautiful colonial style of buildings and a lot of places to visit nearby. I enjoyed very much Caja national park which is located in about 40 minutes distance by bus. And I also liked Banos town for their hot spring.
One thing I didn't feel comfortable is that there are many expats living in Cuenca but they seem to keep their community separated from the locals (from my impression as well as from the conversation with locals). Weak harmonius life maybe?

Banos is located in a mountainous area within easy access from Quito, Latacunga & Ambati if coming from the north. The town has a church's, museum but its really an adventure playground for locals & tourists. With most activities located outside of the town. Local market, restaurants, cafes & bars offer affordable & good food. we took a local bus to nearby Puyo passing excellent scenery but little in the way of tourist attractions.

Manta is OK!
We were only there for one day in manta before flying to Quito to travel on. We went to the malecon to see the sights and check out restaurants. I don't know if I'd stay a long time in manta, but a few days would be OK. It is a fishing city-large tuna plant is there so it smells of fish there constantly. There is a lot going on at the beach and many places to eat and drink.
