Where you'll be

The entrance to Río Muchacho is 7 km north of Canoa on the San Vicente-Jama Road on the mid coast of Ecuador. Heading north on this road from Canoa, on your right hand side you’ll find the entrance to the unpaved road that will take you to the farm. It is another 7 km on this road to the farm. Google maps have instructions on how to get to the farm. NOTE: Río Muchacho is the name of the farm (Río Muchacho Finca Orgánica), the river, and the community. Bus Travel Guidance: Wherever you’re coming from, look for a bus that will take you to Canoa.
