Originally from El Playón de San Francisco in Ecuador's Sucumbíos Canton,[5] whilst at school Narváez was a member of a cycling club founded by one of his teachers, former Olympic racing cyclist Juan Carlos Rosero. The club has also produced a number of other professional riders, including Richard Carapaz and Jonathan Caicedo.[6] Narváez became a multiple-time Pan American Junior champion in 2015.[7] For 2016, Narváez competed for Klein Constantia.[8]
Narváez started the 2017 season competing in the Volta ao Alentejo.[9] He won the Circuit des Ardennes with two stage runner-up finishes, despite a fall in the final stage.[10] He was the youngest winner of the event in a decade.[11]
In 2018, Narváez joined UCI WorldTeam Quick-Step Floors on a three-year contract, making him one of only two Ecuadorians in the World Tour.[12] In late 2018, Narváez broke his three-year contract with Quick-Step Floors to join Team Sky for the 2019 season.[2]
He was named in the startlist for the 2019 Giro d'Italia.[13] He finished the race in 80th place. The following year he once again competed in the Giro; although he did not finish the race, he did win a stage; stage 12, which was an intermediate/hilly stage. Narváez finished just over a minute ahead of Mark Padun and nearly seven minutes ahead of 3rd place Simon Clarke.
