The terrain of Morona Santiago ranges from Andean slopes in its western reaches to lowland Amazon rainforest in the east, creating a province shaped by powerful river systems. The Morona and Santiago rivers flow through this part of Ecuador’s Amazon basin, while the provincial capital, Macas, lies on the eastern foothills of the Andes. Morona Santiago is also closely associated with the Shuar, an Indigenous people whose communities and traditions remain central to the region’s identity. Protected areas linked to Sangay National Park add high mountain, forest and wildlife habitats to its varied setting.
