Santa Rosa sits inside El Oro, Ecuador and ranks #3 of 12 cities in El Oro by population. Every distance on this page is a straight-line Great Circle (haversine) measurement — the shortest path a plane or signal would take between two GPS points, not the longer road-and-turns route a driver would actually cover. View the nearby cities, nearby states or nearby countries tables above.
Scroll down and this page also ranks the states closest to Santa Rosa and the countries closest to Santa Rosa by the same straight-line measurement. For the complete national picture, see every country bordering or near Ecuador. Handy for cross-border import/export planning, scouting a new travel corridor or lining up emergency logistics across South America.
Next to every distance sits a compass heading from Santa Rosa, plotted on the 16-point rose (N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW). The rotating arrow marks the bearing angle (0°–360°, where 0°/360° is due north) — see it in action in the cities, states and countries tables above. It's the same reference pilots, sailors and long-haul truckers use to picture the layout around Santa Rosa at a glance.

It's the same math airlines use to estimate flight paths. View the Santa Rosa map for the exact coordinates behind these numbers.
It's a straight line — the shortest possible path between two points on Earth's surface, ignoring roads, terrain and detours. Actual driving distance from Santa Rosa will almost always run longer, sometimes significantly, depending on the road network. Treat the figures here as a quick planning benchmark, not a substitute for a live route from a mapping or navigation app.
It's the bearing from Santa Rosa to that place, plotted on a 16-point compass rose. The rotating arrow marks the degree bearing (0°–360°), where 0°/360° is due north, 90° east, 180° south and 270° west. See it applied in the cities, states and countries tables above.
Distribution planners use it to pick warehouse or hub sites within easy reach of Santa Rosa. Sales and field teams use it to sequence visits by drive distance instead of guessing.
