Pedro Vicente Maldonado Canton, Canton with agricultural heritage in Pichincha, Ecuador
Pedro Vicente Maldonado Canton extends across 620 square kilometers of diverse landscapes at an elevation of 839 meters in northwestern Pichincha.
The territory emerged from the colonization movement of 1950, led by Teodoro Arrieta and the John F Kennedy cooperative, before becoming a canton in 1992.
The population represents a mix of internal migrants from various Ecuadorian provinces alongside Colombian and Peruvian residents who maintain their traditions.
The temperature ranges from 15 to 35 degrees Celsius throughout the year, creating favorable conditions for coffee and cacao cultivation.
The canton contains six waterfalls: Las Tinas, Laguna Azul, Cascadas Verdes, Salto del Tigre, Tatala, and Rio Achotillo.
