About El Boliche

El Boliche National Recreation Area is one of Ecuador's smallest protected areas, nestled on the slopes of Cotopaxi volcano at the border of Cotopaxi and Pichincha provinces. The area is dominated by a plantation of pine and cypress trees that replaced the native páramo, along with remnant native vegetation. Located 60 km south of Quito and adjacent to Cotopaxi National Park, it offers easy access camping, hiking, and mountain biking for residents of the capital.
