El Guabo Canton, Administrative canton in El Oro Province, Ecuador
El Guabo Canton spans 603 square kilometers of land at 18 meters above sea level, containing five parishes including El Guabo, Barbones, and Tendales.
The area transformed from a small village in the early 1700s to an official parish in 1882, before gaining canton status on September 7, 1978.
