What to Know About Taisha

Key Facts

Taisha is a canton located in the Morona-Santiago Province of southeastern Ecuador. Situated in the Amazonian region of the country, Taisha lies in the eastern foothills of the Andes mountains, bordering the vast Amazon rainforest that extends into Peru. This remote canton covers approximately 5,760 square kilometers of predominantly tropical rainforest terrain characterized by dense vegetation, numerous rivers, and significant biodiversity. With a population of around 15,000-20,000 people, Taisha is home to several indigenous communities, including the Shuar people who have inhabited this region for centuries. The canton is divided into several parishes, including the urban center of Taisha itself along with rural parishes that extend deeper into the Amazon basin. The economy is primarily based on subsistence agriculture, small-scale farming, and some ecotourism, with the region's isolation presenting both challenges and opportunities for development. As part of Ecuador's efforts to document and organize its territorial administration, postal code information for Taisha and its constituent parishes helps facilitate communication and service delivery to this important Amazonian region.
