Storyboard Text
- Hi I'm Micaela Rivas and today I'm gonna tell you the history of the fundation of Guayaquil
- This procedure began on August 15, 1534 near the current Bamba River at the foot of Chimborazo, a city called Santiago de Quito.The foundation was carried out by Diego de Almagro under the orders of Francisco Pizarro
- Later, Diego de Almagro ordered Sebastián de Benalcázar to move the city to the coast in order to secure the position of the littoral region moved the city to the coast in order to secure the position of the littoral region moved the city by the Spanish troops is then that he transferred it in 1535, to an indigenous settlement called Guayaquil near miracle governed by cacique guayaquil, was destroyed by the natives
- Then, in August 1536, Hernando De Zaera took the population to a place called Jaguar where it is currently the hill, this being the third settlement of the city of Santiago although this was not the definitive one either due to hostilities with a native, so in 1537 the town was completely uninhabited
- Then, Captain Francisco de Orellana, at the request of his cousin Francisco Pizarro, sought a new settlement for the city and moved to Daule, thus Santiago de Daule was born. But it does not stay there, since Orellana travels to Cuzco to support Francisco Pizarro in his fight with Diego de Almagro. Once the hostilities have been resolved, Pizarro asks Orellana to pacify the area and relocate the city of Santiago
- The fifth settlement in Guayaquil was in an area known as La Culata, 1542, Diego de Urbina in command of the city. Diego de Urbina withdraws the population to save them, some to Portoviejos and others to Boliches.
- Finally, Francisco de Olmos, brought back to the city of Santiago to the Cerro Santa Ana on July 25, 1547.
- I recommend you go to Cerro Santa Ana, the 60-meter-high hill, it is one of the most important viewpoints of Guayaquil, as it allows you to take a visual tour with a 360-degree turn, in which you can see from the north: the intersection of the Babahoyo and Daule rivers that form the Guayas; to the south: the commercial center of the city; to the east, Isla Santay and Duran; and to the west, the Cerro del Carmen and the rest of the city. At the viewpoint of the hill, there are special binoculars for tourist use. Cerro Santa Ana is also a tourist area, whose access is through the Diego Noboa steps, which have 444 steps, where there are squares, roundabouts, museums, a chapel, the lighthouse, art galleries, craft shops, internet cafes, bars and restaurants.
- Now I'm done bye and thank you for the attention!
