I forgot to put my experience about Las Penas on my blog for almost 2 weeks now, but better late than never!
2 weeks ago my grandpa, mom, and siblings took me to Las Penas, also known as the colored houses, to climb 444 stairs to the top of the all the houses to get a view of Guayaquil. 444 stairs doesn't seem like a lot, but when it is over 90 degrees and the sun is beating down on you, we couldn't go more than 150 stairs at a time before taking refugee under some shade for a few minutes. The walk up was really beautiful, because all the houses are painted with different bright colors, and hanging on each house is a black and white photo from what the houses used to look like before they fixed them up and painted them. There are also some little restaurants and bars on the walk up, which a lot of people go to at night when the entire area is lit up and you can walk around from place to place. When we got to the top, there was a small church with beautiful stained glass windows, and across from that was a lighthouse that we climbed, and that was where we got the best view of Guayaquil, Duran, and Samborondon. On the walk down we took a different route, which brought us to a really nice fountain and newly built building that are right on the river.
