Antisana National Park, National park in Archidona, Ecuador
Antisana National Park encompasses Andean forests and moorlands located in the plains and foothills around the Antisana volcano at 5,758 meters elevation point.
The protected area was established in July 1993 as Antisana Ecological Reserve and received its current national park status through a ministerial agreement in 2021.
Local communities near the park have shifted from extensive cattle farming to tourism and research activities while utilizing the water resources from Mica Lagoon.
The park extends across Napo and Pichincha provinces, featuring nine different ecosystems with temperatures ranging from freezing at the glacier to moderate in lower areas.
The park houses its own endemic amphibian species, the Antisana Toad, a small brown creature that lives among the moorland rocks at high altitudes.
