I experienced sensory overload visiting this cemetery. Exquisite monuments, tombs, crypts, and statues, too many to count. As an amateur photographer, I was overwhelmed deciding what to photograph. Mario was an excellent tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable regarding the history of the cemetery, naming important and famous people entombed, and monuments carved by famous Italian stone carvers.
Dear Kenneth, Thank you for this review. Guayaquil cemetery always surprises our guests. I am glad to know that you enjoyed too. Have a good day, Mario
