La Troncal Canton, Administrative canton in Cañar Province, Ecuador

Description

La Troncal Canton is an administrative division in Cañar Province located in western Ecuador. The territory spans relatively flat land at a lower elevation and encompasses several parishes that serve as local administrative and community centers.

History

The canton was officially established in 1983 as regional population numbers increased due to farming expansion. This administrative creation reflected growing agricultural activity that had transformed the area into a productive zone.

Culture

The territory includes three main parishes: La Troncal, Manuel de J. Calle, and Pancho Negro, each contributing to the local agricultural traditions.

Practical

The location sits between coastal and mountain regions with good road access connecting different parts. Visitors find it easy to reach either zone from here, as the central position provides direct routes in multiple directions.

Did you know?

Natural thermal springs at Yanayacu feature mineral-rich water that varies in temperature, attracting locals and visitors. The springs have been part of the area's appeal for those seeking the natural properties of the mineral waters.
