He was the father of the Ecuadorian poet Horacio Hidrovo Peñaherrera (1931-2012).

In 1961 the Ecuadorian government honored him with the Educational Merit Award.

His best known novel is Un Hombre y un Río (A Man and A River) (1957).

In 1975 his son Horacio published a collection of his poems under the title "Canción de las Voces Infinitas" (Song of the Infinite Voices), but it was not a complete collection because a great number of Hidrovo Velásquez's poems were printed in numerous magazines that are difficult to find today.[2]
