Location
It is located geographically in the foothills of the western plain of the knot of the Pastos, in the Ñambí river basin, a tributary of the Telembí river and thanks to the purchase of new properties the Yaguachi river is also being protected (See map).
Ecosystem
It is strategically located because it is part of a great binational corridor in conjunction with other protected areas and indigenous reservations; thus allowing the conservation of the habitat of approximately 45 species of endemic birds such as the Pangán (Cephalopterus penduliger). It is also listed by the Alliance for Zero Extinction as an AZE site.
