Key Facts
Salcedo is a canton located in the Cotopaxi Province of central Ecuador.

The canton covers an area of approximately 77 square kilometers and has a population of around 58,000 people according to recent estimates. Salcedo is renowned for its agricultural production, particularly its dairy industry and the famous 'helados de Salcedo' (ice cream) that attract visitors from across the country. The canton is divided into three parishes: Salcedo (the urban center), San Miguel, and Mulalillo. The region's economy is primarily based on agriculture, with dairy farming, potato cultivation, and flower production being the main economic activities. The canton's elevation of approximately 2,650 meters above sea level gives it a mild Andean climate that supports its agricultural productivity.
