There
are
two
main
access
routes
to
the
Reserve
from
branch
roads
off
the
Quito-Calacali
road.
The
first
route
of
access
is
situated
approximately
4
km
away
from
the
Mitad
del
Mundo
monument
in
Caspigasi;
a
paved
path
leads
to
the
Ventanillas
viewpoint
where
there
is
a
steep
pathway
leading
to
the
crater’s
interior.
The
other
access
route
is
situated
near
Calacali.
A
route
near
Tilingon
leads
to
the
Reserve’s
control
point
and
to
the
Maraspungo
recreational
area.
From
here
it’s
possible
to
continue
to
follow
this
route
by
car,
descending
towards
the
crater’s
interior
or
the
outskirts
of
Cerro
Pondora
and
its
picturesque
agricultural
surroundings.
It’s
also
possible
to
arrive
at
the
northeast
of
the
Reserve
at
Niebli
and
visit
its
fantastic
cloud
forest.
