Monteverde myrtle forest
Its tourist attraction derives from the fact that it is unique in its species in Ecuador and in South America. For its extension and botanical quality occupies the second place, of another myrtle forest existing in Bariloche, Republic of Argentina. Its importance is dual: botany and tourism.
Its soils are of early formation, derived from volcanic material, preserved in an aqueous environment probably in the Pleistocene, period in which emerged the Andes and the volcanoes vomited lava, flows piroplásticos and mud.
These soils are classified into the order of inseptisoles or andisols or black soils. The forest area corresponds to the temperate floor.
By car, 7 km from San Gabriel, via a third order, in front of the Monteverde community.
