Yacuri National Park (officially, Parque Nacional Yacuri) is a protected natural area in the Andean Highlands of Ecuador. The park is part of a larger conservation area that also includes the nearby Podocarpus National Park. The park is justly famous for its 46 sparkling highland lakes, the vestige of retreating glaciers at the end of the last ice age.
The nearest city with a commercial airport is Loja, which is served by Aeroregional and LATAM Ecuador.
