Pululahua Geobotanical Reserve

Natural Site

Nature reserve in Ecuador

Reserva Geobotánica Pululahua is a protected area around Pululahua Volcano in the north of Quito Canton, Pichincha Province, Ecuador. It is 17 km north of Quito, in the northwestern part of the Pomasqui Valley. The most notable feature of this site is "el cráter de Pululahua", which is one of only two volcanic craters in the world inhabited by humans. Often, this reserve is shrouded in a thick layer of clouds or fog. The land here is extremely fertile because it is volcanic (igneous) soil and, as mentioned earlier, is used to cultivate crops.
