Llanganates National Park (officially Parque Nacional Llanganates) is a protected natural area in the Andean Highlands of Ecuador. The area is fantastically scenic with a backdrop of Andean mountain scenery, with peaks and crags and abundant wildlife. Perhaps even more important to many visitors is the park's place in local legend where stories are told of immense riches hidden somewhere within the park's boundaries.
