Guayllabamba, Rural parish northeast of Quito, Ecuador
The Guayllabamba parish covers an area at 2,142 meters above sea level, featuring agricultural lands and connecting roads between Quito and Cayambe.
The territory was initially inhabited by mitimae groups who specialized in agriculture and commerce while maintaining political control over the surrounding areas.
The name originates from Kichwa language, where 'guaylla' translates to green and 'bamba' means plain, reflecting the natural characteristics of the region.
The parish contains Ecuador's largest zoo, relocated from Quito in 1997, which houses numerous native and exotic animal species in specialized habitats.
The local climate and elevation create optimal conditions for growing specific fruits like avocados, cherimoyas, and watermelons throughout the year.
