    Nice place early morning or evening to walk around and just observe the river or the crazy bustling city. Lots of space. There are bathrooms and parking area. Also, just outside there are lots of buses and taxis. Security guards are always around.

    VERY nice monument in a very nice area, near the Guayaquil light sign, right on the Malecón 2000 boardwalk. It is picturesque and you are steps away from a great view of the water. There are many but this is one of the top things to see on the boardwalk.

    If you're a visitor to Guayaquil, you must walk along the Malecon! Its a beautiful waterfront with tons to see and do. We stoped in Guayaquil for an afternoon/evening before heading to the Galapagos and we are so glad we were able to explore this area!

    (Translated by Google) The roundabout is in the center of the city exactly malecon and avenue October 9, it is a monument that when it was installed was a roundabout that is a total circle with a roof with many columns in the Greek style, but a bad construction made a part of it would collapse, and it had to be remodeled and adapted to a new style and design leaving a hemicycle or semi circle, removing the upper part and leaving some Greek style columns and annexing some new designs. The monument is in honor and recalling the meeting between Simón Bolívar and San Martin that took place here in the city for an interview between both heroes and see if they had the same ideals and liberation grounds of South America, so San Martin delivers his Troop after her meeting and with her Simón Bolívar manages to free Ecuador from the Spanish yoke. This monument recalls that day when it was the first step for a country and especially Guayaquil and Quito are free of the Spaniards and be independent in their lives and decisions. The attractive thing about this chamber is that one gets to the end of each column and She can speak in a low tone and the other person will listen to her as if she were close. Very visited place for tourist photos or with friends as well as being a point where there is a show for the parties of Guayaquil and Christmas events .... A highly recommended place on the boardwalk to meet and walk around. (Original) La rotonda esta en el centro de la ciudad exactamente malecón y avenida 9 de octubre, es un monumento que cuando se lo instaló era una rotonda es decir un círculo total con un techo con mucha columnas al estilo griego, pero una mal construcción hizo que una parte de ella colapsara ,y se tuvo que remodelar y adaptar a un nuevo estilo y diseño quedando un hemiciclo o semi circulo, retirando la parte alta y dejando alguna Columnas estilo griego y anexando algunos diseños nuevos . El monumento es en honor y recordando la reunión entre Simón Bolívar y San Martin que se dió aquí en la ciudad para una entrevista entre ambos próceres y ver si tenían los mismos ideales y suelos de liberación de Américaica del sur ,así que San Martin entrega su tropa después de ella reunión y con ella Simón Bolívar consigue liberar a Ecuador del yugo español. Este monumento recuerda ese día en que fue el primer paso para un país y sobretodo Guayaquil y Quito estén libres de los españoles y ser independiente en sus vidas y decisiones .lo atractivo de este hemiciclo es que uno se pone al extremo de cada columna y se puede hablar en tono bajo y la otra persona la escucharás como si estuviera cerca. Lugar muy visitado para fotos turísticas o con amigos además de ser un punto donde hay show para las fiestas de Guayaquil y eventos navideños .... Un lugar muy recomendado dentro del malecón para conocer y caminar por sus alrededores.
