WHERE IS RÍO MUCHACHO LOCATED?
The entrance to Río Muchacho is 10 km north of Canoa on the San Vicente-Jama road on the mid coast of Ecuador. From the entrance it is 7 km of unpaved road, most of which is passable by car all year round. The last 2 km is a dirt road and sometimes during the rainy season it is necessary to walk that section. NOTE: Río Muchacho is the name of the river and also the community. The farm is called Río Muchacho Finca Orgánica. According to the locals the name Río Muchacho is because the river is very unpredictable in the rainy season, like a young boy or “muchacho”.
