Los Illinizas Ecological Reserve
The altitude reached by the summit of Los Illinizas allows for the existence of two well-marked zones: towards the west, it is more humid soils and vegetation, while in the foothills that face the inter-Andean alley the soils are more sandy and with little Water. In the reserve you can observe flora and fauna, Los Illinizas, El Corazón, named for its inverted heart shape. A volcano with two peaks, a heart-shaped hill and a turquoise-green lagoon are the main attractions of this reserve. From its foothills are born the springs for two important rivers, the Toachi, which runs north through a 40-meter-high canyon, and the Pilatón. This reveals the importance of the cloud forests of this reserve for the generation of water for the nearby towns and cities. The reserve is divided into four sections and you may have visited it without realizing it. The largest includes a long block to the west of Quilotoa, where the springs and streams are born that will feed the Toachi River downstream. The second zone, located to the northeast, is the block where the Ilinizas (Illinizas Sur - Illinizas Norte) and the Heart are. The third block is to the southwest, separated from the larger section by the Latacunga – La Maná highway. The fourth block is a kind of island of 800 hectares that basically surrounds the Quilotoa lagoon.
