Set sail on a captivating journey through time as you uncover the tales of daring pirates who once prowled the Pacific waters off the coast of Guayaquil.
Led by a passionate and knowledgeable Ecuadorian historian, this immersive experience transports you to the Golden Age of Piracy, revealing the secrets, exploits, and legendary figures who shaped the region's maritime past.
Begin with a scenic drive to Guayaquil's Old Town; then take a walking tour along Numa Pompilio Street and the iconic Malecón 2000 promenade.

At the Historical Park dock, sip a welcome cocktail before strolling to the renowned Casa Julian restaurant, nestled in the heart of the park. This elegant venue offers a typical Ecuadorian lunch, crafted with fresh local ingredients and served in a charming colonial setting.
Afterward, a panoramic drive returns you to the pier.
