Littoral
I think it refers to Litoral Guayas, since Guayas is a Province located in the Coastline Sector of Ecuador (Ecuador has four geographical regions Costa, Sierra, Oriente, and Región Insular)
Example sentence:
Litoral Guayas

L Guayas or de L Guayas
The L is just to complete the word "del" (belonging to) Guayas. If you notice, before the L there is alway a "de"

Reference:
There's a list of the provinces of Ecuador here: http://www.worldcitydb.com/ecuador_country.html in which seven of the names begin with 'l ', including 'l Guayas' (which is low-lying, as mentioned by Ricardo) and 'l Chimbozazo' which is certainly not low lying since it includes Ecuador's highest volcano. It's perhaps significant, too, that they use lower-case 'l'.
