Duran sits just across the river from Guayaquil, connected by a long bridge. It grew as an important railway town and river port.
Ride part of the old Ecuadorian railway, enjoy wide views of Guayaquil across the water, and watch big ships travel along the river.
Duran was a key stop on Ecuador's historic railway, and train lovers can still explore its railway heritage.
From the riverbank you get a wide, sparkling view of the Guayaquil skyline and the busy boats on the Guayas River.
