Independiente del Valle
From Quinindé in the far north of Ecuador, Pacho moved to the suburbs of capital Quito to debut with Independiente del Valle in 2019, with both he and the club going on to enjoy a remarkable run of success over the next three years. A non-playing substitute across the entire 2018 U-20 Copa Libertadores run that saw IDV reach the final only to lose to 2–1 in the decider to Uruguayans Nacional, Pacho was first named on the bench for IDV's 2–0 win at Mushuc Runa on 15 March 2019. Pacho was finally given his first-team debut in November of that year, starting in the 0–0 draw against Delfin that rounded off IDV's regular season campaign ahead of the Ecuadorian League Play-Offs, the match coming a week before Independiente del Valle claimed their first ever international crown, beating Colón of Argentina 3–1 in Asunción in the 2019 Copa Sudamericana Final. Pacho was not a member of the continental squad, but did feature heavily in IDV's 2020 U-20 Copa Libertadores triumph, playing all but one game. Independiente beat Flamengo of Brazil on penalties in the semi-finals, and Argentine giants River Plate 2–1 in the final in Luque. Pacho started both knockout games in defence. With a good young crop coming through, Independiente del Valle went on to lift the Ecuadorian League title for the very first time in 2021, defeating Emelec in the finals by a 4–2 aggregate score. Pacho played 17 games on the road to glory, starting when he was 16.
