Ibarra Canton, Administrative canton in Imbabura Province, Ecuador
The canton spans across 1093 square kilometers of diverse terrain, ranging from 500 to 4557 meters above sea level in northern Ecuador.
Founded on June 24, 1824, the canton experienced a major transformation when a devastating earthquake in 1868 led to the complete reconstruction of its capital.
The territory incorporates five urban parishes and seven rural parishes, each maintaining distinct traditions from indigenous Caranqui to Spanish colonial influences.
The canton provides direct access to educational facilities, including the Technical University of the North and multiple agricultural production centers.
The temperature variations between 15°C and 35°C create specific microclimates that support the cultivation of both highland and subtropical crops.
