Marakele National Park, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the Andes, is a haven for nature enthusiasts. As you venture through this breathtaking landscape, you will encounter Frailejones, also known as Espeletia pycnophylla - tall plants that reach towards the heavens. The park's beauty extends beyond its flora; it is home to Tungurahua Active Volcano, standing proudly at 5016 meters. For several years now, clouds of ash have been erupting from its fiery depths, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. Immerse yourself in local traditions by witnessing Otavalo Indian Fishermen skillfully maneuver their traditional reed boats on Lake San Pablo near Otavalo. These ancient techniques are passed down through generations and offer a glimpse into Ecuador's rich cultural heritage. For those seeking adventure and awe-inspiring sights, Cotopaxi Volcano awaits your arrival. Standing tall at an impressive 5897 meters, it holds the title of being the highest active volcano in the world. Marvel at its grandeur while sharing space with Alpacas (Lama pacos), adding charm to this already majestic setting. Cajas National Park was established in 1996 with one purpose: to protect High Andean Param fauna. At altitudes ranging from 3000 to 4400 meters above sea level, this park boasts diverse ecosystems that showcase Mother Nature's creativity and resilience. In Marakele National Park itself lies another wonder - Cloud Forest and Paramo Habitat where Spectacled or Andean Bears (Tremarctos ornatus) roam freely. Witness these magnificent creatures thriving amidst misty forests and high-altitude grasslands – truly an unforgettable experience. Conservation efforts extend beyond land-dwelling animals; African Elephants (Loxodonta africana) are darted for GPS tracking collar fitting. This crucial research allows us to better understand their movements and protect these gentle giants for generations to come.
