Quevedo Canton, Administrative canton in Los Ríos Province, Ecuador.
Quevedo Canton sits at an elevation of 74 meters in a tropical region characterized by extensive agricultural lands and river networks.
The canton received its name from Timoteo Quevedo, a surveyor who arrived in 1938 to measure and map the virgin mountain territory.
The region preserves traditions from the Milagro-Quevedo civilization, which flourished from 500 CE until the Spanish arrival, leaving behind metalwork and pottery.
The territory connects to neighboring cantons through a network of roads, facilitating trade between urban markets and agricultural producers.
The local tropical monsoon climate creates conditions where temperatures range between 22°C and 33°C, supporting rice cultivation and diverse flora.
