Antisana Ecological Reserve – Ecuador National Parks

Description

The Antisana Ecological Reserve is an Ecuadorian national park with an abundance of wildlife. Its main attraction is the impressive Antisana Volcano; but also its extensive paramos where you can watch the flight of the condor, the king of the park, and also white-tailed deer, foxes, rabbits, and birds like the Curiquingue and the ducks. The visitors, who venture through these territories, can also visit other attractive sites; like the Secas Lagoon, formed by the lava emanated in Muertepungo; or the Mica Lagoon, which is one of the largest in the Ecuadorian paramos.
