This trek combines the beauty of two beautiful and completely different ecosystems. The first of them is the páramo of “Piñán”, located a high altitude zone of the Cotacachi-Cayapas Ecological Reserve. The zone of Piñán is famous for its beautiful lagoon system comprising over thirty lagoons; its wide variety of flora and fauna which includes condor, white-tailed deer, páramo foxes among others; its impressive views of the surrounding volcanoes “the Cotacachi” (4.944 msnm) and “the Yanahurku” (Black Mountain; 4.540 msnm); and for hiding the almost untouched Andean community of Piñán. The ending point of the trek is the village of “El Rosario”, located in the Intag Valley. This Valley is part of the South American Chocó Biological Region, one of the ten most important biological hotspots in the world. Many threatened species roam this subtropical zone: Spectacled Bears, Jaguars, Mountain Tapirs, Toucans, Guantas and Guatuzas, to mention just some of them. This area is also home of a fascinating and a wide range of flora and vegetation.
