Getting there
   GETTING THERE

There are two principle vehicle access routes to the area. The first is a side road originating from the Ambato-Guaranda highway in Cununyacu and crossing the infrastructure of the South-American Camelid Reintroduction Program, eventually leading to the refuge on the slopes of Volcano Chimborazo. From there onwards, the route is asphalted crossing most of the sector until reaching San Juan , on the other side of the Reserve, eventually joining up with the Riobamba-Guamote highway. This route, which presents the visitor with alternative access to the Reserve, is in good condition and more frequently used.

 

Additionally, there are other pedestrian pathways and trails within the Reserve. The majority originate in the Urbina and Mocha sectors, adjacent to the Reserve beside the Pan-American highway .
