    Pululahua Commune

    The Pululahua Commune is a tiny farming and livestock community that lives inside the Volcano Crater. The surroundings are very beautiful and peaceful, a delight to hike along these paths surrounded by agricultural and livestock plots that are the daily work of the community.

    Circumvallation of the Pondoña Volcanic Dome

    The Pululahua Geobotanical Reserve is a clear example of the great geological and volcanic activity of the Ecuadorian Andes. On this circumnavigation of the Pondoña, we can observe how this volcano was formed and also the enormous diversity of Andean flora that covers its slopes.
