Chimborazo Fauna Production Reserve, Nature reserve in Chimborazo Province, Ecuador.
The reserve spans 58,560 hectares across three provinces, featuring the Chimborazo mountain with an elevation of 6,310 meters and diverse páramo ecosystems.
Established in 1987, the reserve initiated a successful reintroduction program of vicuñas from Peru and Chile in 1988, restoring native Andean wildlife.
Indigenous and farming communities within the reserve maintain traditional agricultural practices, growing potatoes, fava beans, and barley in lower elevations.
Visitors need to book their entry at least one day in advance through email or phone contact, with access permitted from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM daily.
The Chimborazo mountain, measured from Earth's center due to equatorial bulge, extends farther into space than Mount Everest.
