There
are
two
national
parks
in
Ecuador
which,
without
a
doubt,
can
be
described
as
the
least
explored
or
wildest
areas
on
the
planet.
One
of
these
is
Llanganates,
located
within
the
central
Andes
and
the
other
Sumaco-Napo-Galeras
National
Park
,
an
area
where
the
juxtaposition
of
geological
structures
have
created
diverse
and
isolated
environments
accommodating
several
special
biological
conditions.
Entangled
vegetation
and
steep
slopes
extending
towards
the
Amazon
make
it
virtually
impossible
to
access
the
area.
Mountainous
landscape
can
be
observed
in
the
Park,
such
as
volcano
cones,
Sumaco,
Pan
de
Azucar,
Cerro
Negro
from
where
there
is
a
spectacular
view
of
several
Andean
mountains
towards
the
west
and
extensive
tropical
rainforest
towards
the
east.
This
area
also
conserves
the
river
basins
of
several
Amazonian
rivers
such
as
Quijos,
Coca
and
Napo
.
