What is Patiotuerca?
Patiotuerca (ecuador.patiotuerca.com) is the leading car marketplace in Ecuador, listing used and new vehicles, with a presence across the wider Andean region. It is known for surfacing inspected vehicles, giving its listings a condition signal beyond a plain asking price.
Market Position
Patiotuerca is the clear per-country leader in Ecuador, with an Andean footprint that extends its reach beyond a single market. Like NeoAuto in Peru, it is the dominant national portal in a smaller Andean market with relatively low anti-bot, giving good breadth-per-parser value. Its inspected-vehicle tagging is a useful differentiator in a region where structured condition data is scarce.
Data Fields Available
Carapis extracts a structured record from each Patiotuerca listing:
- Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, fuel type, transmission, body type
- Condition — mileage, inspection status (inspected-vehicle tag)
- Pricing — listed price
- Specification — options and trim
- Listing context — dealer / seller info, location, photo gallery
The inspection-status tag is Patiotuerca’s standout signal — a condition marker that most regional classifieds don’t expose.
