{{about||the port in Colombia|Cerrejón}}Puerto Bolivar is part of the municipality of Machala, El Oro Province, Ecuador. Puerto Bolívar is one of the world's largest shipment points for bananas, most of them destined for Europe; about 80% of Ecuador's banana production is shipped through these port facilities.[1]

The port was named in honor of Simón Bolívar (1783-1830).
