epa10104179 Anti-narcotics police search for drugs in several containers, in the Port of Guayaquil, in Guayaquil, Ecuador, 22 July 2022 (Issued 3 August 2022). Through fake fruits, inside wood, between boxes of shrimp, bananas, cereals, scrap, or even in tea bottles, drug trafficking has made the port of Guayaquil in Ecuador one of the great springboards to 'export' tons of cocaine in multiple forms from South America to mainly Europe and the United States.
