Eloy Alfaro, usually known as Durán, lies across the Guayas river from Guayaquil in coastal Ecuador and forms part of the same metropolitan area. It is largely industrial and residential, connected to the city by a long bridge.
The town is industrial rather than a destination, and its historic significance is as the terminus of the railway that climbed from the coast to Quito. Guayaquil's riverside Malecón, its restored Las Peñas quarter and the iguanas in its central park are immediately across the water.

The coast has a hot, humid wet season in the first months of the year and a cooler, drier and often overcast season after. The wet season is sunnier between showers.
