Pululahua Geobotanical Reserve
Pululahua is an extinct but active volcano, one of only two inhabited craters in the world and the third largest with a diameter of 12 km. Every afternoon, moisture-laden clouds arrive from the coast and hide the life that exists in this caldera under a white blanket. It is the only protected area in the country that has the status of "Geobotanical Reserve," declared as such due to its geological condition and great biological diversity of both fauna and flora.

The Crater
Lunch is planned at the restaurant located on the edge of the Pululahua volcano crater, the only inhabited crater in the world. The El Cráter Restaurant offers 360-degree visibility over the landscape, which changes constantly depending on the time of day.
