Geography

Course

The Guayas River has one of its sources in the Chimborazo (volcano), Ecuador's highest volcano, in the Andes. The coat of arms of Ecuador shows an image of the river descending from the mountain. However, "Guayas" is the name of the lower part of the river, which starts at the confluence of the Daule River in the west and the Babahoyo River, in the east, between the cities of Guayaquil and Durán, in the Guayas province. The Guayas River then divides in two to form the Santay Island, and afterwards it rejoins. From the confluence to the delta, 60 kilometers away, it borders Guayaquil and Durán cantons, and Guayaquil and Naranjal cantons, just before the delta.
