El Empalme Canton, Administrative canton in Guayas Province, Ecuador.

El Empalme Canton extends across 711 square kilometers of land with elevations ranging from 27 to 115 meters above sea level.

The population distribution shows a mix of Mestizo at 61.3%, Montubio at 26.1%, and Afro-Ecuadorian at 7.4%, representing regional diversity.

The canton maintains paved roads connecting to Guayaquil, with regular bus services operating through multiple transportation cooperatives.

The Monkey Reserve near Daule-Peripa Dam contains 46 hectares of primary forest housing numerous native species and natural formations.
