El Triunfo is a town in Ecuador. Its name means "The Triumph" in Spanish. Long ago, it was called Boca de los Sapos, which means "Frogs' Cove". This town is located in the Guayas area, close to the Cañar province.
El Triunfo is the main town, or "seat," of El Triunfo Canton. A canton is like a county or district in Ecuador. This canton was created in 1983. In 2022, a census counted 41,042 people living in the town.
A French priest named Luis López Lescure helped El Triunfo grow a lot. The town became very important in eastern Guayas. This is because it grew around a busy road junction, where different roads meet. This made it a key place for travel and trade.
