About Chimborazo
Chimborazo Wildlife Reserve is dominated by the iconic Chimborazo volcano, at 6,310 meters the farthest point from Earth's center due to the equatorial bulge. The reserve was established primarily to protect and restore populations of vicuñas, camelids reintroduced from Peru and Chile in 1988 after local extinction. High-altitude ecosystems include páramo grasslands, polylepis forests, and glacial zones inhabited by Andean foxes, deer, and condors.
