Sumaco Napo-Galeras National Park

The national park contains the Sumaco volcano at 3,732 meters elevation and spans across 206,749 hectares of diverse ecological zones from 600 meters upward.

The protected area received its designation in 1994, leading to increased conservation efforts and scientific research to document its natural resources.

Indigenous Kichwa communities near the park maintain strong connections to the Galeras mountain range, considering it a sacred natural formation.

Environmental Communication Center in Wawa Sumaco provides three camping locations along the volcano trail, accommodating up to 10 people at each site.

The park houses specific amphibian species like Osornophryne sumacoensis, found exclusively on the eastern slopes of the Sumaco volcano.
