Daule Canton

Daule Canton is an administrative area in Guayas Province that covers flat terrain and includes the city of Daule along with several smaller settlements. The region is shaped by farmland where rice paddies and cornfields dominate the landscape.

The canton was founded in 1824, growing from a small settlement into a significant agricultural hub. Rice and corn production became the economic foundation that shaped its development over the following decades.

The Montubio communities shape daily life here, with their traditions visible in how homes are built and how people work the land. Walking through the villages, you notice their presence in local customs and family-centered rhythms.

The canton sits relatively close to Guayaquil and connects by road to nearby municipalities. The best time to visit is during the dry season when roads are easier to navigate and farmwork is most active.

The region has undergone significant demographic change and is far more densely populated today than it was two decades ago. This rapid expansion shows in the growth of urban infrastructure and the blending of rural and urban life.
