Bahía de Caráquez, Coastal port city in Manabí Province, Ecuador
Bahía de Caráquez stands at the mouth of the Río Chone on a sandy peninsula, connecting to San Vicente town across the bay.
The Spanish established this maritime trading post in March 1628, naming it Villa de San Antonio de la Bahía de Caráquez during Philip IV's reign.
The city exhibits a mixture of Spanish colonial architecture and Indigenous traditions, with influences from Italian and Lebanese immigrant communities.
The city maintains connections through land routes from Quito and Guayaquil, while San Vicente airport provides air transportation with its paved runway.
The municipality transformed into an Ecocity in 1999, implementing environmental restoration programs following natural disasters in 1997 and 1998.
