Cotopaxi National Park
|
The Cotopaxi National Park is an ecological sanctuary of 36,000 hectares (88,920 acres) surrounding the highest active volcano in the world (5,987 meters / 19,700 feet), especially attractive for nature lovers, with the treeless vegetation of the Andean moorlands or páramo. There are herds of llamas, wild horses, and perhaps deer, rabbits, frogs and lizards. Bird life includes the Andean gull, ducks, and several species of hummingbirds and with some luck, the condor. |
