On the slopes of the Antisana Volcano, Yanayacu is part of one of the largest intact altitudinal gradients in the eastern Andes.

250-5000m

The land around the station is comprised of

80% primary Tropical Cloud Forest at an elevation of

2100 meters, and connects directly to the large national preserves

surrounding the volcanos Antisana and Sumaco. The remaining land is abandoned cattle pasture,

but large tracts of continuous forest abound. A well-established trail system

provides access to most areas of the reserve.
