  Las Peñas is Guayaquil’s oldest neighborhood, and much of it is currently
  being restored to showcase the beauty of this historic area.  A center of
  cultural activities and expositions.   Historically, Las Peñas has
  been Guayaquil’s most important neighborhood.   Las Peñas has been
  home to presidents, musicians, historians, artists, captains of industry,
  housewives and fisherman. With a particular architectural style with narrow
  streets the houses near the river depict the early days of Ecuador with two
  fronts one for access from the street and the other for access from the river. [text from galapagosonline.com]
