Huaquillas, Border town in El Oro Province, Ecuador.
The commercial center of Huaquillas extends along the international bridge over the Zarumilla River, connecting Ecuador with the Peruvian town of Aguas Verdes.
During the Ecuadorian-Peruvian War of 1941, Peruvian forces occupied Huaquillas, marking a significant period in the border relations between both nations.
The population of Huaquillas maintains continuous interactions with Peruvian neighbors, resulting in shared traditions and exchanging products from both countries.
Merchants in Huaquillas conduct transactions in both US dollars and Peruvian soles, facilitating trade for visitors from both sides of the border.
The international market of Huaquillas operates as a free commerce zone where vendors display products from Ecuador and Peru without strict border controls.
