Important Information – Pululahua Geobotanical Reserve

Pululahua is a calm and isolated place that´s close to the city of Quito. Every afternoon the life that this cauldron has is hidden with a white coat from moisture-laden clouds that arrive from the Pacific´s coast. This is the only protected area of the country under the category of “Geobotanical Reserve”. This speaks volumes aof the area’s geology and volcanic history are very unique. Aside from the wealth of flora that grow on its slopes and ravines, the reserve protects something very unique worldwide: an inhabited volcanic crater that is located very close to the equator itself. Without a doubt, the energy of the earth is felt in every rock and in every cloud that comes in and out of the Pululahua volcano.
