The Clubs
Did you know that Las Peñas is Guayaquil's oldest neighborhood? Its name comes from the numerous crags and limestone rocks that existed when the Spanish settled there in the 16th century. In 1982, it was declared a cultural heritage site of Ecuador, and in 2002, the Municipality of Guayaquil began a process of restoration and regeneration. The residents of the area and the owners of the buildings are the true custodians of this historic and emblematic heritage site, which is a meeting point for those who love Guayaquil traditions. In addition, Las Peñas is located in front of the tranquil Guayas River, which makes this area even more special. Enjoy exploring this wonderful place!
