Estupiñán began his career in the youth ranks of LDU Quito. In 2006, he made his debut for the senior side and has been a member of the side that has captured numerous domestic and continental titles since 2007. He participated in the 2009 Copa Sudamericana title run appearing in 3 matches and assisting on 2 goals. On November 5, 2009 he helped lead LDU Quito over Vélez Sársfield providing one assist in a 2–1 victory which helped his side reach the semifinals.[1] Following the 2009 season it was reported that Estupiñán would be sent on loan to Macará in order to receive increased playing time, but the move never materialized.[2]
In 2011, he was drafted 14th in the first round of the MLS SuperDraft by Chivas USA.[3] After one season in Los Angeles, Chivas USA opted to decline the option on Estupiñán's contract.[4]
Estupiñán was a member of the Ecuador Under-20 national team.
