Babahoyo, Provincial capital in Los Ríos, Ecuador
Located at the meeting point of the San Pablo and Caracol rivers, Babahoyo extends along the riverbanks with agricultural lands surrounding the urban center.
Established as Bodegas during colonial times, the city served as a vital customs checkpoint between Guayaquil and the mountain regions of Ecuador.
The annual celebration of Virgin of Merced on September 24 brings together artisans, performers, and musicians from across the Los Ríos province.
The city connects to major destinations through regular bus services from Quito and Guayaquil, while river transportation enables access to rural communities.
The riverside inhabitants maintain floating houses on the Babahoyo River, adapting their lifestyle to the seasonal water level changes.
