Morona-Santiago

Morona-Santiago
“In contrast, Morona-Santiago in southeastern Ecuador is rich in prehistoric flora that dates back to the Jurassic period ( 24) . Plants harboring interesting wildlife are found in El Condor Park where 127 different types of mammals thrive in this sheltered area (24). The park is located to the east of both the western highlands and the Huaracayo highlands mountain range, which is the source of the Zamora, Santiago, Coangos and Namangoza rivers (24).”
“The Sangay ruins, which date back to sometime between 3000 and 3400 B.C., are also found in this province (24). The archeological site is a complex of fountains, roads and pyramids, which are vestiges of one of Ecuador's oldest cultures (24). Towering above the jungle, nearly 27 miles from the provincial capital, the still-active Volcano Sangay is an imposing sight (24).”
“There are also many handicraft stores in Macas, located in the province of Morona-Santiago…(24) Several artisan markets offer crafts such as fiber bags, hammocks, ceramics, arrows, bows, spears, knives and more (24).”
