Sangay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Ecuador, is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and diverse ecosystems, ranging from tropical rainforests to glaciers. The park features three prominent volcanoes—two active, Sangay and Tungurahua, and one extinct, El Altar—showcasing dramatic landscapes and geological significance. Its isolation has preserved a rich biodiversity, including rare species like the mountain tapir and Andean condor, making it a critical conservation area recognized since 1983.
