Ecuador serves primarily as a transit country for illegal drugs, particularly cocaine, destined for North America and Europe. The violence associated with narcotrafficking in Ecuador often involves clashes between rival drug trafficking groups, as well as confrontations with law enforcement agencies.
Several factors contribute to Ecuador's importance to cartels:
In our first article, we see how that violence has played out and increased over time and how it cost the youngest Mayor in Ecuador's history her life.
The Los Chapitos are a faction within the Sinaloa Cartel, one of Mexico's most powerful and infamous drug trafficking organizations. The faction is led by the sons of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, one of the most notorious drug lords in history.
The internal struggles within Los Chapitos have been fueled by various factors, including power dynamics, rivalries, and external pressures from law enforcement and competing cartels. Here's a breakdown of some of the key elements:

Several factors contribute to Ecuador's importance to cartels:
- Geographic Location: Ecuador's strategic location between Colombia and Peru, two major cocaine-producing countries, makes it an attractive transit route for drug shipments heading northward.
- Weak Law Enforcement: Ecuador has faced challenges in combating narcotrafficking due to corruption within law enforcement agencies, limited resources, and vast, difficult-to-patrol areas such as dense jungle regions along its border with Colombia.
- Ports and Airports: Ecuador has several ports along its Pacific coastline and international airports, providing multiple entry points for drug shipments. These facilities are exploited by cartels for smuggling drugs into and out of the country.
- Political Instability: Periods of political instability in Ecuador have created opportunities for criminal organizations to expand their operations, as government attention may be diverted from combating narcotrafficking.
- Money Laundering: Ecuador's relatively lax financial regulations have made it an attractive location for laundering drug proceeds. Cartels use various methods, including shell companies and real estate investments, to launder their illicit profits.
In our first article, we see how that violence has played out and increased over time and how it cost the youngest Mayor in Ecuador's history her life.
The Los Chapitos are a faction within the Sinaloa Cartel, one of Mexico's most powerful and infamous drug trafficking organizations. The faction is led by the sons of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, one of the most notorious drug lords in history.
The internal struggles within Los Chapitos have been fueled by various factors, including power dynamics, rivalries, and external pressures from law enforcement and competing cartels. Here's a breakdown of some of the key elements:
- Power Struggles: With the absence of their father, El Chapo, who was known for his iron grip on the cartel, Los Chapitos have had to assert their authority within the organization. This has led to internal power struggles as different factions vie for control and influence.
- Rivalries with Other Cartel Factions: The Sinaloa Cartel itself is not a monolithic entity but rather a loose federation of various factions and groups. Los Chapitos have encountered opposition and competition from other factions within the cartel, leading to conflicts over territory, drug routes, and control of lucrative drug markets.
- External Pressure: Law enforcement efforts, both within Mexico and internationally, have targeted the Sinaloa Cartel and its leadership. This pressure has forced Los Chapitos to adapt their strategies and operations, leading to internal tensions as different members advocate for different approaches to evade capture and maintain control.
- Generational Divide: Los Chapitos represent a new generation within the cartel, with different ideas, strategies, and alliances compared to the older generation led by El Chapo. This generational divide has contributed to internal friction as older members may resist the influence or leadership of the younger generation.
- Alliances and Betrayals: Within the complex world of cartel politics, alliances are formed and broken frequently. Los Chapitos have had to navigate shifting allegiances among various factions and individuals within the cartel, leading to betrayals and mistrust among members.
- External Threats: Beyond internal struggles, Los Chapitos face external threats from rival cartels, vigilante groups, and government forces. These threats add to the pressure on the faction, forcing them to constantly assess and adapt their strategies for survival.
