We had an amazing day learning about Guayaquil. Our tour started with a prompt pickup at our hotel and we were whisked away to the Historical Park where we saw lots of birds and animals that were rescued and being prepared to return to the wild. Our guides were very knowledgeable about all the species we saw. We were then given the choice of going to the chocolate museum or getting a more hands on experience. We opted for hands on and were taken to Yamil’s home where we learned the process of making chocolate from tree to table. We helped make ceviche and had lunch at the kitchen table followed by lots of delicious chocolate and desert. We then needed to burn off our meal with a walk through the historic district. It was a truly wonderful experience.
