Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Antisana Ecological Reserve, spanning over 300,000 acres in the Andes of Ecuador, is renowned for its breathtaking scenery, dominated by the majestic Antisana Volcano. The reserve is a crucial habitat for a diverse array of flora and fauna, including endangered species such as the Andean condor and the spectacled bear. With its mix of páramo grasslands, glaciers, and diverse ecosystems, visitors are offered opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and photography amidst dramatic Andean landscapes. Established to protect these unique ecological features, Antisana also serves as an important watershed for the nearby capital city, Quito. Relatively undisturbed by human activity, the reserve is a tranquil paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers looking to explore Ecuador's rich environmental heritage.
