Guayaquil is Ecuador's largest city and its commercial and industrial capital, home to approximately 2.7 million city residents and 3.8 million in the metro area. It operates on Ecuador Time (ECT, UTC-5). While Quito is Ecuador's political capital, Guayaquil is the country's economic heart — it handles over 70% of Ecuador's imports and exports through the Port of Guayaquil, one of South America's busiest Pacific ports. Ecuador is the world's largest exporter of bananas — a vast proportion of which ship through Guayaquil — and a major exporter of shrimp, cut flowers, cocoa, and petroleum. The city sits at sea level on the Guayas River estuary, in strong contrast to high-altitude Quito. The waterfront Malecón 2000 redevelopment transformed the riverfront into a modern promenade. The Galápagos Islands, an extraordinary ecosystem 972 km offshore that inspired Darwin's theory of evolution, are administered as an Ecuadorian province and served by direct flights from Guayaquil.
