Antisana National Park takes its name from the Antisana Volcano, a geological structure located in the Eastern Cordillera de los Andes at 5,758 metres above sea level, and its area of influence lies in the central highlands and eastern foothills of the Andes. Within this National Park there are moors and Andean forests. The passage and retreat of glaciers and the evolution of volcanic activity have created impressive landscapes and diverse wildlife.
